[R-390] Rack suggestions

[Walter Wilson]

Mike,

I have run through the same problem, and solved it moving all into a taller
rack.  I currently have an R-390 and an R-390A and a CV-591A and a Symetrix
528E voice processor in a 28 inch rack, with just a little bit of room to
spare.  I just picked up a 36 inch rack at Shelby that I will refinish, and
may eventually move into if (when) I outgrow the 28 inch rack.  I'm saving
the CY-979 for the day that my wife lets me place an R-390A on the
nightstand as a bedside radio. ;-)
