PL 400 Series II Dimensions

[WOPL Sniffer]

Are the chassis' for the 400 and the 700 (the face plate mounting holes) the same? Will a 700 II face fit on a 400 II chassis???

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Never seen a 400 in person so I had to ask. How tall is the 400 chassis

Hang on , got 2 of em here...what do you need measured?

I wanted to see if a 700 II face will fit on a 400 II Chassis... If not, will a redrill of the 400 chassis make it work? Thanks Lee

7" faceplate, 6-1/2" chassis, 5" centers on handles..

 

[laatsch55]

17-5/8" center to center sideways..

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

17-5/8" center to center sideways..

I figured that since they fit in a standard width rack. Gotta go measure a 700 II

Looks like the chassis height, Face plate, and width of chassis is all the same. The new WO Cylon boards are the same...... So I could use a 700 II face plate on a 400 II and be able to install a stock power switch, and an attenuator switch. Hmmmmmmm

 

[laatsch55]

Yep, sounds right...

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

OH..... AND GREEN LED's

I'm stuck now. I can either suck it up and buy this 400 Series II, WOPL it and put the 700 II Face Plate on it with a power switch and attenuator switch, OR.... I have a couple 700B/II chassis' with plenty of parts to do a Series II. I just don't have the Glass for the face plate but I do have acrylic panels for that.

 

[laatsch55]

So , you are missing the subpanel beneath the faceplate?

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

I have one but it's rough.....

 

[laatsch55]

Ahh.....

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

it's missing a couple studs but I learned from glen to replace them with countersunk screws. The heads would be hidden by the face

We could water jet new face plates...

Let me know when they are ready. Water jet??? Sure... Go for it might as well try a Jigsaw too.

They come out nice... run a mill file down the edge and they’re perfect. For a LOT less than milling material (and less waste) but I’m surrounded by machine shops making jet engine parts if you want a quote for that.
