Getting better.
My setup is using 2-gallon tanks with the lead cathode running down the side and across the bottom of the tank. For the electrical end, I bought a current limiting power supply rated at 10A. I hooked the negative to the lead and the positive through my digital ampmeter to the AL tank bar, on which I have AL wire suspended from AL screws. I got 12-guage AL wire from radio shack and tapped a small hole one drill-size down from 12-guage. I then screwed the AL wire into the hole, cutting threads on the wire untill it started to twist on itself (about 1/4"). The parts are rigidly connected to the wire, and the wire is wrapped around the 1/4" AL screws on the tank bar with AL washers.
The PS could be the problem as you say, as it's old. Im going to try and get a new current limiting PS off eBay and try that.
My most recent results were good, and the dye took, but even after 15 mins in the dye tank using the 110 heater, the blue dye didn't fully penetrate, and there are what look like shadow lines on the part where it's lite and not fully dyed.
Thanks a bunch, ill keep working on it.
