Fairchild 670 Front panel Dimensions

[Kid Squid]

Bore Da Chaps,

Just wondering have any of you funky dudes got access, or can get access, to a 'real' Fairchild 670.
Basically, what I'm after, is the measurements to hole centres, eg. meter (x,y), I/P att (x,y) switches (x,y) etc, etc.
Also, measurement of the fonts - letter height/ width etc, etc,
and, Scale diameters, pot indexing (in Degrees) etc,etc........

I got the actual plate measurements ( 17"x9", 17"x4 3/4"),

There's a plate in it for whoever sorts me out........
Btw, it's for a good mate, have a guess............ :wink:

Is he finally getting around to doing it? I assume this is Mr. Flinn? He has been collecting valves for the last couple years and he was telling me about the metal work he brought back form Prague I think, that was back in 2006... time flies!

Got one here. I have no idea how to get exact dimensions for holes and such without ripping it 1/2 way apart, but here are a couple of close up pictures.

Or, you could just make your own panel like this:

You could trace the plug-in in illustrator and then scale it up to fit your dimensions...best I can think of.

Hiya chaps,

Cheers for the replies,

sonic mook, an easy way to do it is, to put some lo-stic masking tape along the top edge, and down the left hand side - mark centre lines/ points along the masking tape, and measure off the tape.
fancy having a go for me ? :wink:
Tom, I think that will be my backup plan mate ! Iechyd Dda Boyo :thumb:

Here's a drawing I did about a year ago. The measurements were eyeballed with a ruler on a unit I didn't feel comfortable taking apart, so I don't guarantee accuracy. However, I think they're pretty close.

I'll dig around in my notes - I may have some info on the font heights.

Hi Tom,
Many thanks mate, for the info,
it is very much appreciated.

Any other info you got, is also appreciated.

Oops. Another cut-n-paste casualty.

Doesn't twice the vertical mean more headroom? :grin:
