Re:MP7 Stand/ New end pieces

Hi,

     In response to your request for photos, I snapped a few quick ones for you.  You can find
them at these pages:

     These few photos show most of the details you need to do this yourself.  As a woodworker, I
just hastily threw this together for a different purpose (holding my Proteus 2000 at an upwards
angle so that I could view it better).  Then I sold that unit and bought the XL-7.  I found the by
turning it around, I could see the XL-7 better too.  The one thing I would change if I were to
make it again, is that it doesn't need to be as deep as it is.  Current dimensions are 17" wide,
11 1/4" deep, and 3 1/2" tall at the back, 1 1/4" tall at the front.  It only needs to be 8" deep,
or 8 3/4" if you have a lip on the front to keep it from sliding off.  I just used scrap
materials, though if you want it to look really nice, you can use better stuff.  I used screws to
hold it together because they are quick, though again, you can just use glue and it will look mo
bettah.  I also would make the angle a little steeper so that it would tilt it more.  This is
desireable in my setup, mileage may vary.

     P.S.  If you are not inclined to take on this project, I'll sell you this one for $5 plus
shipping.
