Okay. Dumb noob question: Which part exactly is the head block?
Thanks for the dimensions and the tip about taking off the feet. I'll probably lay it down on it's back. Anything else I need to know about transporting it? It does have it's original protect-o-muff (tron bondage). That should protect the lovely brushed on latex paint job it received at some point.
How important is the tape box cover (the aluminum thing that the tapes roll into when they're played)? I see it missing in a lot of pictures and the tron I'm buying is missing it. It seems like one could be made relatively easily (unless, of course, somebody out there has a spare). I'm sure the cover will be the least of my problems, however. I'm just thinking out loud and taking mental inventory of the project ahead.
