Title: Anyone have an original Centipede upright? Have a couple of questions.
Post by: DaveMMR on September 08, 2014, 12:18:48 pm

So I'm in the planning stages of rebuilding my old cab but now I kind of want to stick to the original angles/measurements as much as possible (though I still have to make some minor concessions due to wood panels instead of metal - and the larger, horizontal monitor will be installed differently.)


Anyway, I need some more accurate measurements on the control panel - Jakobud's plans make it look like the metal CP is parallel to the sides but it doesn't appear to be the case.


Questions:
What's the slope of the top and bottom CP when it's installed?
Is the inset of the front of the CP .5" like the rest of the front of the machine?


I may have more questions as they come up...

Pretty sure Totsua has a centipede.  Shoot him a PM.

That's what my Centipede uses.

Why yes sir - please see above whenever you have a chance.  Trying to mimic the original as closely as possible on the rebuild so I'm looking for slope and inset from side on an installed CP (top bottom).


(At your convenience - no rush.)

Wow.  I couldn't have screwed that up any more if I tried.  I was at work, it was a long day, the planets were in alignment, age of aquarius, cats and dogs living in harmony!

Oops.
