Maybe someone can just put on side on a scanner?

Cheers
Mitch
Just bumped into this page from Roland with all dimensions, also for the Xm.
A wood shop should be able to help out making a pair.
Bit weird, googled a lot and only found it today.

Just finished the “Jupiter-Mod” for my System-8.

As the original side cheeks are discontinued, and they aren’t “Jupiter-like” enough, I decided to do some DIY cheeks.
Pretty happy about the result!

I’m currently in the process of developing fullsize overlays for the System-8.
Will update as soon as the first prototypes arrive.
