Try using the graphic without any physical "add-ons" and try it with them - compare results. Campbell used only india ink and embroidery thread, so that would be a good place to start - it's "traditional". That's all I've used - I confess I've never bothered to run an electrical wire across the room to the radiator, I used black embroidery thread.
Both of the vendors selling these commercially on eBay have an actual potentiometer and knob mounted on the dial symbol, instead of a laminated paper "knob". I'm planning to make one like that (I've got the parts) but haven't got to it yet.
I was thinking of putting a small square of phosphorescent material under the Battery symbol so it will faintly "glow" under the paper.
Used "stand alone" my print-out should work for you as well as the Cosimano print-out did, it's essentially the same Campbell design.
Keep us posted on your research - drop a comment on the blog page if you like.

Do parts that are not symbolic work in a symbolic device?
I put together the symbolic H. device by Cosimano and it worked fine. I used it for 3 seperate operations and got pretty good results. I also printed out your version and had it laminated and also used a crystal in the "power" area, and so far nothing.
I can get a decent stick on this device which makes me happy, since the lamination seem's to work well for that. But so far, I'm not sure I'll get the results I think I'll get since in the book "Mind Machines you can build" by G. Harry Stein, the author says that you must use symbolic additions on it for it to remain a total symbolic device and for it to continue to work properly. So I'm not sure, you're ideas will work, but I'm going to give them a shot.
An example of this is, you mentioned, that using a copper ground wire in one part of the device would help, but in the Mind Machines book, Stein say's that he used string (symbolic wire) and it worked just fine, since he tried it with real wire and it didn't work.
I'm using a watch battery at this time in the "power" area, and will see how that goes... but I still have my doubts.
The experiment continues.... <span class="postbody">
