Hi all:
As the "resident expert...;>)" on a number of WPC cabs, having built many
I can tell you more details than you would probably care to hear regarding
the differences in construction. However - today I was presented with
building a BARE (meaning painted only) AFM head, and I have never done one
of these. Now I can say this - I KNOW it's probably just like another one of
the WPC heads, but I NEED to know EXACTLY which one it is like. For example,
IJ, MM and TOM all have the same heads; CFTBL and FT are the same; WW is in
a class all by itself, FH is different at the BASE....can you see what I am
getting at?
What I need from someone who has an AFM is to provide a pic of the opened
head, and tell me the following:
1) How long are the internal side support rails? (there should be four, two
long upper and two short lower for the speaker panel)
2) Do the upper long ones sit FLUSH to the top, or are they down like 2"
from the top?
3) Do the long rails sit further back than the short ones?
4) Does the ground braid start at the upper right top corner and go
counterclockwise down to the ground post at the base? Or is it different?
5) Does the lightboard attach at the left and SWING OUT like most?
Bet you never would have thought there were so many differences!!
Whoever can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it, and I'll figure out some way
to "reimburse" you for the effort. Talk to me. THANKS!!
