Switch asembly close up. Copper rod from original radio and aluminum mount from original radio fastened to microswitch in it's mount cut from original case. Rod attached to old knob slides through to push micro switch.    It works very well. Amazing.   Rear view before drives installed in bay from sacrificed junk case bought in radio market.

All closed up. Looks like an old radio. Speaker cloth is really a door. Switches work. (That was hard.)       Early stage of transfer..Computer components still to be migrated to case. (CD Drives already installed along with slave hdd.)

Rear view. Drives in bay. Note switch assembly mounted on lower left. The green LED for lighting the tuning display is also visible.       With speaker cover door open exposing dvd slot drive, cd r rw drive and vented 80 gig hard drive (bottom). Plexiglass to right will expose view of interior.      

 

More madness
