jorjen Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 Yeah I know, mighty TALL order. Oh, by the way, just checked FedEx Craig, you should have the 296 Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Songer Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Make one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorjen Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 That is probably what I will do Allan. I have an extra screen/cage so I am good on that. I will make an exact duplicate of the original. Routered relief for the faceplate, cut out for OEM screen, the whole enchilada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 What are the measurements of the faceplate? Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorjen Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 Keith, I cannot measure the faceplate right now as the 296 is on its way to Craig. The overall dimensions of the "G" size case are as follows: 17.5"W x 6"H x 13.75"D Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Landau Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Easiest way is to look for a 340 with a case (they are plentiful). Use the case and sell the 340 for a lower price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorjen Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 Good idea Guy. If I do not ultimately construct one myself due to time constraints, etc., that is what I will do. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piranha Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Wonder if the 272 fits in that also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorjen Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 Thanks Guy, just picked it up using "Buy it now". Kind of pricey but what the heck, my 296 deserves it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piranha Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Jordan, that was a nice score. Congratulations! It also beats the elbow grease, and it is kept original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorjen Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 You are right Tom, this will work great. At most, a cleaning of the screen and some #0000 Steel wool to the case followed by a few coats of boiled linseed oil(if this case is oiled like the other one I have)and she will be good as new. This 296 is really going to come together as a helluva piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piranha Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Yes, I would love to own a 296 myself someday. I'll wait for a nice one to come along. Right now I am learning to just be happy with my 272 and Mark III's. Otherwis I will go broke, or my wife will divorce me given all the gear that I have bought lately.

Looks like the 272 took an FW or FWW case, same as a 399. The case you want would be much scarcer and harder to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorjen Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 Tom, Only a 272 and a couple Mark III's? Sheesh, most people should be so lucky! I have lusted after Mark III's since I was a teenager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
