There's a lot of routing on the inside of the cheeks to allow it to be flush to the case. They're screwed on. The Lexan is sitting on stick-on felt (brown) all around so it doesn't rattle but it's not not secured, just sitting there.
Only 15 ......... I won't tell you how many I've got !!
The only thing to watch out for, with black or white, is it can damage some components as it retains the heat for quite a long time if applied generously !!

Very neat job Shep! 
It looks just like one of those old-school Marantz classics, with those side panels.

Thank you sir. You nailed it. That was the look I was going for, with the modern touch of the Lexan. I still remember those old Sony's and Marantz from the 80's. They were gorgious.
The Black hot glue is everywhere in my machine. It's almost impossible to remove so be carefull where you get it. As you can see from the pictures, somehow Brent managed to get a perfect circle of it on the puck as both additional mass and I suppose damping. I mean perfect (and intentionally).

I'm blushing😱 Seeing as you all wield the soldering guns, I had to do something special to earn my spurs 🙄
start with the microprocessor!!🙂
Those regs aren't really any better then 7805's! Def get yourself an SPower, you know you want to!!! Lol!

Mines in the dry docks today!
I've just fitted the tracking gears from the CDM 12.4 / 12.5. They have a different angle to them and they track smoother and quiter.
Just about to swap the oscillator on the servo clock to a 8.46 Mhz (currently 16.9Mhz and divide by 2). This will lower the jitter a few PS so hopefully a tiny bit more detail can be retrieved.

Lol,
ordering an spower today Ian main 5v right?.
so cpu first then servo and dac 1 each to start.
thanks alan😉
The first reg to add when using an spower is to reg the dac via U164 (unless you are fitting more). Lift U164 and stick it in the dac side hole.
While your at it Remove RF01 (5v resistor to cpu) and stick a std 7805 reg there to isolate the cpu.
No heatsink is required on the spowers in the 63. Don't swap the main 5v reg if you can help it. Eventually this will not do a lot.

You've been doing it longer than me🙂
Sadly, I'll probably bever get round to doing anything to a lot of them, they're such similar designs that once you've done one there doesn't seem much point making the same changes to another one. Handy to have them when I fry one that I like though.

Question on superregs use
Hi,
I've currently got 4 * 5v superregs on my 67, 3 on the dac (Analogue, Digital, clock) fed from a seperate tx. and 1 replacing Q811.
Is that the best use for these regs?
Regards
Pete

Yep - CD63 then CD67 with a change to the servo driver section and then the CD6000 which added twin dac and cd text.

Yes and no. The dac ones are spot on. Don't bother with the main 5v one. Add them onto the servo chip R122 R123 (two is required really). Then later do the two decoder ones.
