Errors?
DennisInMN:
I have been working through the book building my first ever cab and I think I have found a couple of errors. I do not have the book on me so I cannot say the exact pages but I wanted to post this while I was thinking about it.
The first potential error is in installing the back top angled section. If memory servers, when attaching the support strips I think the book says to place them 3/4" from the top of the cabinet sides. I believe this should actually be another 3/4" from the top so that the actual angled piece is 3/4" from the sides like the other pieces. Again, I am doing this form memory so maybe I am mistaken and just read it incorrectly.
The next error is in the monitor shelf installation. The text says to make sure the monitor shelf is flush with the front of the cab while the picture of this looks to have the monitor shelf recessed about 3/4". I would assume that flush with the front of the cab is correct since the control panel will be sitting flush with the monitor shelf.
Anyway, let me know if I am the only one seeing these and if so I will try to find some more of this crack I have been smoking. ;)

Cabinet back angled section:
Dang, you're 100% right! That's an error. Look for an errata coming soon. Thanks for catching that one!
Monitor shelf:
Right again... On the bottom of page 396 I actually mention how my original placement of the shelf was incorrect and had to be fixed. However, my editors and I both missed that Figure 2-22 showed the incorrect mounting.
Good catches both! Thanks!

Some updates to the keyboard encoder sections. I notice the min-pac took off the 36 input version on the website. The mk64 is no longer available. "01-29-2004 The MK64 is no longer availible for sale. Sorry for any inconvenience."
saint:
Yeah, the problem with putting something in print :) At least 3 vendors made changes between the time the book was put to bed and actually came out in the stores.
Fodder for version 2! :)
