OB_CC: Where can you get plywood that matches the Northstar Horizon?
The "home" stores don't even have the right thickness!
That grade is for real carpentry not home despot wonder projects.
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).
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.
