Some folks were asking about a template for top mounted jacks on 1590B. While I don't have a template, I did record my measurements.
It uses Lumberg KLB-3 mono 1/4" jacks and a Lumberg 2.1mm non-switched DC jack. The spacing is right-on enough to use lock washers on the inside for the 1/4" jacks.
After completing four identical builds with these precise measurements, a fellow FB DIY member, Zack Slater, worked up a 3-D printed drill template for me. Once they arrive, I'll confirm they work as well as my hand-measurements worked.
Note the drilled holes for two pots that appear beneath the tangs of the 1/4" jacks. They still clear enough space for either 9mm or 16mm pots (even when the 16mm pots have the plastic pot shield that typically come with Tayda 16mm pots. So nothing touches. The clearances are close tho.
NOTE: This will NOT work for the switched DC jacks - they're just too large to accommodate the hardware in such a tight space.
