well.... I´m currently working on a webpage where you guys can enter your interest and read the latest news and updates of the project. And I must ask again about the CAD drawings. I would be very interrested in using beakers design. IF i had the CAD drawings. Without them it will be hard to make them since I would have to start from scratch drawing them.
As it is now we feel like the best approach to begin with is to make a replika of the original facia just in aluminium. So that people still can use their original lenses without us worrying about that. And about the buttons/knob/handle question i would have to say that I will if the project starts work hard for making them in ALU also. It would be cool if they were chromed but that isnt anything I can comment on at this moment.
I´ll be back to post the webpage when its done.
