I am building an RCA replica, and I need a favor from a generous, kind-hearted RCA theremin owner:
I have constructed my chassis to size based on various sources, and the only thing I simply cannot find is the measurements telling exactly where on the chassis to locate the pitch and volume knobs and the light jewel.
Based on the cabinet dimensions provided by dayfan and JS, I could make an educated guess as to where they are to be located, but I want this chassis to drop right into its cabinet and have the parts line up precisely with the oval hole in the front.
Specifically, could some kind soul carefully remove the chassis from their RCA and measure how far from the side, bottom and top these items are? Also, while the chassis is exposed, could you measure details of the mounting tabs on the side? (screw hole locations, dimensions of the tabs themselves).
With this information, I will be able to exactly recreate an RCA chassis. The goal here is to make a chassis that would drop right into an existing RCA cabinet.
