I'm the German craftsman
Just finished my first Sansui wood case for the 9090/990 That I own. I believe these would fit a 8080/880 model also. Took awhile to make all the templates, Guides, and awhile to Figure out exactly how to make this critter.
I made side mounting screw holes a bit smaller that original and used my calipers to make everything more accurate and precise. Holes are not oversized and are on the money.
Also Corrected the sides at the bottom where each should be an exact measurement from the top and correct to the feet/ base that the receiver sits on. original sides were a .062 off along the bottom. insured that this fits much tighter each way to the Aluminum face.
I made this one out of highly figured Makore. Used Teak oil on this and may give it one more coat.
Making a couple right now in Figured maple, two in figured Makore, and two in figured Mahogany. I'll post pictures when done and see what you guys/Gals think.
