This weekend I made some stands for the MD and the MM, just as the
picure in the Photos dept.

Before I fix a screw in my machines: some buttons and lights are at
the same height as the rack ear holes. Can anybody tell if it is safe
to put some screws in those holes?

Kind regards!

Are you sure you want to put holes in them? There are other ways, like 
pressure from behind..

The way the Nord is done is a neat solution, but I already made my 
ears.

The real question is: how far can I screw the screws in before 
hitting anything vital?

Ohh.. I imagined he was asking so that he could make holes in the sides 
to match the ears he made. Didn't get that he was using the standard 
holes. The question is then, how long of a screw...?

I think if you're very gentle, and the unit is NOT PLUGGED IN, you 
should be able to screw them in, slowly, BY HAND, and feel if anything 
inside is contacted.

these photos may be helpful...http://www.zerozillion.net/md/
they show the inside of an MD and where everything is, so that may  
give you
an idea of how long of screws you'll need.  you may also try emailing  
Elektron
support to see what they say...how long the screws are in the rack  
kits they
have for sale.
