Actuation of "5" Button Test
It works!

The Sanyo 7200 is unharmed, it is seated in its plastic belt holster, snap in and
out -- but for the solenoid rods.... solenoid rods are being held in place with a plastic
collar and small spring (from pen) and eraser as a cork in the top, these (there
will be 5 to 6) have a completely loose push rod -- the pen spring gives a little more
push and also dampens the recoil from when the button pushing actuation is
ended.
These solenoids -- were less than $3 each they barely had the
strength to click the cell phone button -- requires tuning them in terms of being
the exact amount of distance. These solenoids only really have some force to
their push in their last 1/16" of travel.
The aluminum rails are bolted to the holster, 3 1/2 inch 1/8 bolts hold double
Plexiglas window over the cell phone. The solenoids have 3/8 threaded end,
so I tapped the threads for it into the Plexiglas --- may add epoxy later . . . .
The solenoid in this configuration in being trigger by a push test button.
