Windy II - dismantling / measurements

Post by **system11** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 12:33 am

Does anyone know how deep a Windy II is with the front/control panel removed? I'm told this is possible.

About 26 inches from front to back, that is if you could actually do it. The bottom half (with panel underside) looks like it should come apart from the back part of the cab, but it looks like it would be incredibly unstable with the monitor still in it, and probably fall flat on its face, or bend the bottom back plastic if you had it on its back in a car trunk (assuming this is why you are asking).

Mr Bloodflowers.

If you are *seriously* interested in my cab, which it seems - I'll see what I can do with regards to taking it apart. The monitor definitely needs to come out to start with.

I won't be able to do so this week though - possibly the weekend is a goer.

On an Egret II, the control panel is held up by just four bolts. Easy off and easy on. ^_~

But if the Windy II is bulit anything like the Windy (and from the pics it looks identical), that's not the case. The bottom edge of the CP is moulded, and you take off the entire front piece. Means it shrinks down even smaller!

I miss my Windy :{
