I've got a 2110 tuner and 5025B tape deck that I've been wanting to build cases for. As far as I can tell, the cases for these used a similar construction to the 3-piece WC-122 case. I've done some mockups with side panels using the same profile as they used on the WC-22, but it doesn't look right to my eye. It almost seems as if the side panels should be thicker and have a deeper chamfer on the front edge. Would anyone happen to have a WC-122 sitting around that you could take some measurements from?
WC-122 case dimensions

- Start date
the 17-5/16 is the face plate and top width, the side to side outside is 18-15/16
Thanks, I was looking mainly for the dimensions on the profile edge rather than the case dimensions. Thickness of the side panels and angle on the chamfer would help a lot. Here is how my side panel looks using the wc-22 profile, just seems like the WC-122 sticks out more from the face plate.

The finished side is exactly 1" thick. The rabbet for the faceplate is 1/4" wide (i.e. into the thickness of the side, and 3/16" deep, to allow for the thickness of the faceplate. The chamfer is 45°. Yours looks to be much steeper. The chamfer is 3/8" by 3/8", which leaves 3/8" for the face of the sideboard, the end of the board, if you will.
The side measure 5-1/2" tall, and 15-7/16" long. (or, 'deep', if you prefer. From the front edge to the back.)

the side board is 1 inch wide but at the top where it is notched out its 3/4 inch (sorry not a carpenter dont know the term) so the top panel can rest on it. dont know what chamfer is so cant help you there.

Open the pdf in post #30 in this thread. It has a drawing of the cross section of the face frame of a WC-22. Sounds like you are looking for these dimensions.

Great info, thanks for the help! So the angle is a bit different then, WC-22 is closer to 30 degrees while the WC-122 is 45 degrees. I'll have to mock up another test panel. My plan is to just omit the plastic vents on the sides as they're not really needed anyway - the WC-22 has no vent in that location.
