[Elecraft] KPA500 problem

[Don Wilhelm]

When I built my operating desk, I made the top a full 36 inches deep so 
the face of the equipment is about 24 inches from the front.  I also put 
the 2 pedestals on appliance dolly wheels so I can roll the desk out for 
access behind the equipment.  There are shelves in the back to hold 
power supplies and all the other stuff that I don't need to see on a day 
to day basis.

I am fortunate to have a fully equipped woodworking shop and can do that 
kind of custom furniture design.  I built the desk from good oak and it 
matches the custom trim and cabinets throughout the rest of the house.
