In an effort to update my Windy as well as create a better grounding soulution I am going to have a new rear panel made that uses an IEC 3 position power connector and has a 3 position daisy chain outlet. I was planning to keep the switch, fuse, and noise filter off the original panel.
So here is where my question comes in, are there any other Windy owners that would be interested in this kind of conversion? As it stands now, the connectors are coming from some Cyberlead spare parts I have (Sato Parts S-170 and S-150), which have been discontinued. If there is an interest I can change the design to accomodate different parts. It would have 4 M3x10 self clinching studs installed for mounting the filter and grounds and would either be powder coated gloss white or left bare metal.
The pricing I have gotten for the current design is as follows:
2 People would be $65 USD/each plus shipping.
4 People would be $50 USD/each plus shipping.
The pricing is for bare/painted panel only with studs installed, assembled panels would run more. Also, I can't find a good replacement for the noise filter so it would probably be best to reuse the old one.
Pricing may change if the design is changed to accomodate different connectors, etc.
Panels would be made by protocase and are 16 gauge cold rolled steel.
Also I have the bracket that locks the control panel modeled but I haven't priced it yet, I would imagine that might be a little more popular. Let me know on that one as well.
