I removed 2lbs 10oz of chassis and fashioned a lightweight frame of foam core. The expanded metal vent is a gutter cover, cut and bent to fit. The 30 pin connector is still there, tucked out of the way under the vent. It took about two hours to do and can be put back together in about a half hour. If someone out there had access to a 3D printer, a slick new housing could be made for the DL1608 that would make it look like a stage box. Any takers?
Here are the "leftovers" from my project.
