RE: [motm] cases, again
2000-06-09 by Tkacs, Ken
That was my original plan; I got talked into the idea of nice walnut console cabinets instead, though. PAIA used to have a nice system for their cases. The modules were recessed enough that the knobs didn't protrude, and the cases had these "slip-hinges," like a hinge that didn't have the pin enclosed. So you could put two cabinets face-to-face and slip the hinges together, then latch the pair shut. Of course, that works better with the smaller cabinet size. But those hinges would work well with a lid for a portable case. Depending on how big my cabinets eventually are, I too am thinking about some kind of power connector to share the supply from one cabinet to another. I haven't looked too closely at it yet, though.

The cases I want to eventually build for my MOTM are basically the vinyl-covered cases at synthesizers.com, with the metal corners. Supposedly those offered on the site can be hinged together, which is what I wanted--something like a large, open case that can be closed and clasped without knobs bumping into each other. I'd also like to build a removable plate into the back of one so that the power supply can be mounted there and accessed. I'd probably also need an access hole with connector to link power between the two cases. Is anyone else considering this? I was going to do it myself, but I don't know when I'll have access to the tools (Brooklyn apartment living doesn't lend itself to table saws, etc.).
