@high_end_pins since you've pretty much moved to your own cabinets. Why not use stringers on the bottom of the cabinet that go nearly the full length, vs the factory setup.. which can still easily catch corners/edges, etc? With angled edges, the cabinets could still be tilted easily without risk of catching the cabinet bottom or top edges

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

You could definitely improve the overall design or enhance things like you mention but what I run into is a 50/50 split where some people want it to be exact and others would accept improvements.
When you have that type of customer base it is better to go with a cleaner/better build of exact because that will please everyone.

I hear ya.. I'm just suprised when it comes to that angle you don't err to the 'worthy improvement' vs true OEM style. Like in your coil and gi rewiring - not OEM, but 'improvement' while sticking to factory look (even if not exact).

Just ashame the cabinet is so easily exposed (and risking so much good work) for something so easily adjusted without really altering the overall look.

Stern's buttons and no stringers drives me mad
