Oops! There goes another Mountain Juke Box! (*05/04/2009*) Update
javeryh:
DaOld Man - This is how I laid mine out (the drawing isn't to scale but the dimensions are accurate). I tried to make the border look consistent from the sides of the monitor cutout up and around the top:
I struggled with the layout for a few days at least. I think I drew it out about 5 or 6 times before settling on it. Hope this helps.
Nvts:
One thing that is hard to tell in your pictures is how wide the sides are between the edge of the monitor and the edge of the MDF. Both Mountain and javeryh have a very small amount of material between the sides and the monitor. This makes for a bit of worrying when making the T-molding cut I beleive. That is why I made mine a bit wider and have more meat on my sides. This also makes my marquee not line up, as I did want all the space open still.
Here is the picture of javeryh's
and one of the thicker side of mountains. (I don't think he posted one of where the cord is...)
and a bad shot of how much wider mine is.
DaOld Man:
Thanks guys.
James, your drawing helps a lot. I see where you have the marquee base line raised too. I looked at mountains again, and his looks to be the same. So, next plan is to raise the marquee bottom.
Thanks for the pics nvts. Pics are always best for me.
My juke will be even narrower than mountains, so I am worried about it.
I think I will go ahead and cut out the monitor hole and see how it looks before I do a lot more work on the marquee.
DaOld Man:
Just a quick update. No pics this time around.
I have the marquee area cut out. I settled with a cross between javeryh's and nvts' designs.
I plan to post the measurements later.
Cutting out the shapes in this juke box is a real pain in the asbestos.
I am going to go with the 15" width. I know I will be beating myself later, but after I add the extra 1/4" of the skin thickness on each side, I think the slot cutter will leave enough meat to hold it together.
Been playing around with the griffin power mate too. I really wish I could find a dual 50 K ohm audio taper pot with a push switch on it. A on/off switch would be an extra bonus but not really necessary. The push switch would be nice to use as a "press to mute" function. It needs to be momentary on. (Push on, release off).
If somebody could point me where to find one of these I would greatly appreciate it.
Now back to work...

I only researched as far as skim reading the PDF at the link below, but sounds like it might do what you want...

Apart from the boot-up unreliability, what's the problem with the Powermate?
