The ultimate dual 500 "rising from the ashes" build

[grapplesaw]

Well it's still waiting to be resolved. The RCA plugs and that they screw into the anodized frame. To isolate them is a lot of work because the mount is so thick. I can make a common ground point to the chassis and the jacks and run that back to the star point on the power caps. No sure if the anodizing has and resistance or other funny stuff. Normally it is best to not groun the jacks but run the ground to the control board.

Everyone's input is required to solve this one.

Ugh! I know.
i will need to counter bore as well for the nut

That thick eh??

That thick eh??

The chassis is .300 thick the treads on the switchcraft jacks are about the same. If someone knows of a long threaded panel jack it would help.

Flat bottom mill would be nice too , wouldn't it??

Glen, the Cardas THICKS should be the ticket. I use these (the "Thin Ones") on most every build. Not a bad price ($22.00 a pair if you shop around). They are quality RCA's

So we need these 2 cranes to make the 500 "Rise from the ashes"???? (Or, get it up.... so to speak???)

Glen wanted to know what we had for overhead cranes.

That twin beam is nice design. Did you say it had two different hoists in the bridge?

Thanks Perry
these are great

the best price I found was about $23 per pair plus $10 shipping . This is from of all things a Canadian distributor So of I buy two sets and same freight cost its $60 US or $90 Canadian

As I need to add a cut out for the power socket I am going to router out the frame to except the stock Swotchcraft and plug socket that I have. Maybe the next one will get these you have directed us to.
