[R-390] Another CY-979A question

[triodes at optonline.net]

Hi Barry,

The nickel plated  "rails" that I was referring to in the CY979A/URR are the rails that the receiver actually slides on during insertion into the cabinet, and it rests on these rails. They support the load of the receiver within the cabinet.

The rails or skids that are affixed to the shock mounts are not nickel plated, and are painted in the same finish as the cabinet itself.

I hope that this clarifies this matter for you!

73,

Bruce
