Thanks for the information.  Looks like everyone is on the same wavelength.
I had mine mounted in a console about 10 years ago....and I "think" I used
2" angle Al 1/8" thick.  But I can't remember.  I got rid of the console (a
3 bay unit) for some stupid reason.  Wish I had it back.

As far as the slides are concerned, I worked for years at Cape Canaveral and
at our HF receiving site, we had gobs of these things along with CVC  RTTY
demods, and just about everything was slide mounted to be able to pull out
and fix in place.

TNX again.

Mike
