The MM12 cab measures out as 36" tall, 27" wide, and 15 1/2" deep, or 3' by 2.25' by 1.46', which comes out to 9.86 cu. ft. You posted the dimensional drgs. on this august forum a while back. I have full size plans for the top manifold (top down view), but I don't see this as all that necessary. If the miter cuts are'nt that accurate, you could "shlockmeister" the gaps tight with wood putty or silicone rubber, as this won't be visable inside the cab anyway.
You don't miss anything! The horn throat size should be 1 3/4", and not 3/4" as in the labeling of the drg. If you cut all the parts out as directed, you would run into this discrepency. Though it may seem obvious to us, a newby might be confused as to which is correct. In this case it's the scale drawing which is correct. While we're at it, the cleats pictured are scaled as 3/4" in the pic, but they are labeled as being 1". The "number" scrawled at the down feed point is just an ink smear from the printer of the magazine (!). Your hi-res scan makes it actually look like something. There's also some pencil jottings of no particular importance by my dad (which may show up in the gray scale scan of the e-mail, used so the photos would look viewable) along with some sweat stains too. Building horns is hard work!
