In 1974 this was my pride and joy.
651 Console 1
Some of my friends gasped
651 Console 2

"I hope everything turns out okay!"

The present stop rail was too small to accommodate 240 stops.

So I had to figure out some way to handle this challenge.

 

 

 

I cut out a large piece of chipboard and sat it on top, hinged at the back.
651 Console 3
Some bolsters needed to be constructed.
651 Console 4
Satin black paint before I applied two pack gloss, which wasn't successful.
651 Console 5
My first time making stop rails.
651 Console 6

I found out that it was not an easy job for a first timer.

The stop and new piston rails fitted.
651 Console 7
Stops fitted and wired up.
651 Console 8
The final result.
651 Console 9

(Never did get to build the console shell)

 

 

 

 

The empty console (stops and keyboards only) went to a new home.

 

 

 

Goodbye old friend.

Goodbye 651
Goodbye 651 2
