Re: Gravitar - Quantum control panel

Dan,

Your right, I was thinking of my BW cabinet - it has the vertical wood
piece. I believe I have an extra one if someone needs one.

SD has the shelf.
BW has vert piece. (or at least the proto does)
Quantum has vert. piece
Gravitar should have vert. piece if BW does, right?
