Yet ANOTHER Update
if anyones interested..lol
Okie dokie...at the suggestion of one of the electrician dudes at work, I've got all the wires extended using butt splice crimps so the control panel side folds up without disconnecting the 'jones' plugs. YYYAAAYYYY!!!!
I bought some lightweight cloth, hemmed up the edges, sewed some sleeves into it to hold some half by half inch pieces of wood for supports and VIOLA a dust cover that rolls up or out very nicely!!!
Now that the table is protected from my dirty dusty house I can proceed to spruce it up and continue the sceniking that Dad started so long ago. Course first I'll have to learn to do that sceniking by building a diorama to practice my modeling skills
Thanks for everyones ideas and encouragment in thinking this part of the project thru to completion
Heres a pic of the table with cover
