500TX case pics?

[CT Jim]

I just glued-up some Chestnut for a case for my 500TX. I did a google search and saw a few pics. It appears the original style has the recessed faceplate with a shadowline reveal and a square front leading edge. Simple enough to duplicate.

Does anyone have other case pics of different front edges? Cutting and assembly starts Thursday!

Here some pictures of some case corners:

500TX original case
800C original case


My 700T is the same as the 500TX

My Marantz 18 case looks like the 800c case corners

When I saw the original tx case reveal I liked that a lot, and I am familiar with the Marantz "bevel notch" as I call it, but I just couldn't see doing that detail for the largesse of the TX frame.

So I'll stay with the reveal style! I was going to make a case for either my 2230 or 2010 because I only have enough Chestnut for one case, but the Fisher is getting it. I may have to do the 2010 in Ipe, except all I have is 5/4 and that stuff is soooo hard and heavy, but it too will look sharp!!

Thanks for the closeup pic!

No sense in adding a repeat pic. Mine is same as scruff's and Fisherdude's.

As I'm not totally familiar with all the fisher models, is the 500t case the same as a 500tx? is the 700t same as a 500t and...?

Yes, all are the same size.
