Shahinian Acoustics Super Elf Cabinet Drawings, circa 1992

Back in the day, I was very friendly with Dick Shahinian. I tried (this was before I was writing for TAS or Stereophile, please note) to see if I could get a company in Rhode Island interested in making some cabinets for him, in that they were early adapters of CNC woodworking. Their clients for whom they made hotel and restaurant fixtures included Disney, Inc. However, they were not interested in following through. (There was probably not much per-unit profit in a small loudspeaker.)
Anyway, just for the sake of Nostalgia, and before I recycle them (they are photocopies and not originals) here are the shop drawings for the Super Elf cabinet, circa 1992. One potential source of confusion is that the Side drawing has nestled within it an out-of-scale Top-Down view of Dick's preferred "Diamond Brace," which is crossed out.
It therefore seems that he wanted the Rhode Island firm to quote on a "Conventional" Brace.
Audio was so vibrant back then!
