Control head stand

Necessity, as they say, is the mother of invention.

To address the need for a stand for the radio’s control head, I headed off to the workbench and dug up some scrap pieces of MDF (it was actually part of the packaging for a treadmill we bought a while back). Fired up the table saw to cut it to an appropriate size and glued/screwed the pieces together.

It’s a simple L-shaped base with the top part where the control head mounts to at a bit of an angle (30° according to my table saw)

4 screws provide the attachment point for the mounting plate from a goose neck stand. It was already on the radio and made sense to make use of it for this table stand. Here it is with the control head mounted.

A little bit of spray glue and some rubber kitchen liner on the bottom finishes off the stand. Not the prettiest thing, but it works.
