Title: Things u always wanted to know about BYOAC but never dared to ask...
Post by: Level42 on August 18, 2005, 03:29:33 am
I am pretty good at electronics and computer stuff, but my woodworking capabilities are mmmm... average... I was wondering the following:

I bought a JAMMA cab with a metal CP and want to replace that with one of wood, which will give me more space for controls. Now, I have no clue how to make this fit  to the cab. The original CP is mounted with what we call a piano hinge and the usual cab clamps.
I will make some pics and put them up here, but I am now looking for some pics how other people connect their CP to their cabs, and yes I have searched a lot, but no detail pictures (drawings) about that aspect.
Any links or pics would be apreceated :) !

Pictures speak a thousand words.  Take some photos and attach them if you can.

Speaking very broadly: there's nothing some well-placed L-brackets and hinges won't hold in place. :)
