Gino,

please look at my message from March 09, 2005:

travel

> suitcase (ie the place where it says 'doepfer analogue....'

The case manufacturer needs this area for the rivets required for the
corners resp. ball corners. The rails have to be mounted with the M5 scews
cannot be used for the mounting of the case corners. We would have prefered
a smaller version of the suitcase without the additional top/bottom space
but the manufacturer said that this is not possible.


So you may use the space behind the black strips e.g. for DIY multiples. The
black adhesive foil "DOEPFER A-100..." can be removed before that. But I
assume that the thread of the standard A-100 sockets (manufacturer Cliff)
are too short to mount them into the strip. You may look for another 3,5mm
socket with a longer thread.

Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer
