Replying to an old message, as now I'm actually building a wooden
stand / pedestal with casters, I have one specific question to Erik,
or anybody else who can answer this.

Is it ok to have these bars running *across* the vents?
They would only close a small part of them.
Question is, are they fitted flat enough into the bottom of the synth
that I can run a bar under them, supporting the whole weight of the
CS-80?
The benefit of this would be to place the bars exactly where the
original stand would be located, with a span of 91.5cm between them.
Otherwise, if I have to avoid the vents completely, I must place the
bars closer to the center, allowing 75cm width maximum.
What I plan to do is building a pedestal where the left and ride side
panels are elongated 10cm above the top panel. I's build them from
19mm multiplex (and could possibly double the 10cm above the top
plate to 38mm).
I just don't know whether to go for 75cm witdh (avoiding the leftmost
and rightmost vents), or wheter to build the pedestal with 90 ...
95cm width and going right across th events (obstructing a strip of
3.6cm of the 10cm wide vents).
What would you recommend?
JH.
(want to go wood shopping tomorrow; CS-80 should arrive next week.)
