The stuff used was real 3/4" finish grade with what appears to be oak
veneer (mine is). The originals were fairly tough veneer and well
fitted. Mitered corners and two cleats in the corner for a bit of
stiffness. The front edge has a routed slot on the inside top and
two sides to slide over the front pannel plate, The slot is 9/64
maybe 5/32" wide. Most of the early machines came with the dark
stain wood but I'd like to find a metal one (less RFI).
At one point Northstar was buying at Ashby Lumber, but I don't know for
sure that that was for the Horizon.
One of my NS* Horizon is wood cover and the other is
missing the
cover so I have a Lexan cover plate to allow airflow.
There seem to be a LOT of missing Horizon covers!
