The CP art is bugging me that it doesn’t completely fill the space. I have to have it off-centre slightly too or I can see the pink instruction writing underneath. A nice piece of white card should fix it or I could
Just stop being an OCD dick.

Both new and old have their quality’s

But when you see the scares it tells a story that new cannot.
Be happy with what you have it’s the genuine stock which is best.


Looks super nice man 👌

I had major issues getting the cab upstairs, but I’m pretty much sorted now once Hillary’s install my slats on the window.
My E2 is currently sitting in my hallway with the CP off as I'm trying to figure out how to get mine upstairs. I think I'm going to have to pull the tube out to lighten the weight as theres no room to turn it in the stairs. I have been putting it off for this reason.

It took myself and two burly builders to get it up one flight of stairs fully assembled. I did remove the control panel. The knack was to keep it vertical at all times. We caused all kinds of damage to the walls on the way up too. Luckily they re-plastered and painted everything the same day.

Exeter to far for me other wise
Would have enjoyed the challenge :)

I roped a washing machine into a loft once on my own .. 💪…. Through the small hatch just fitted ..

But yeh staying vertical is good advice

I pull tubes from other cabs but never my egrets … rotate mech puts me off I leave it in if possible ..


Could you make a stair shape that creates a flat platform off 2 stairs ?

Then you literally could do it one step at a time

The stairs turn to the left 3rd of the way up. There's a 90 degree turn it needs to do so wouldn't be possible. I say it needs to turn, in reality there isn't any room to turn it so it would need to move in the same rotation it went up in.

I got a quote from some movers who do things like piano moves and they quoted me close to 300 quid...
Knowing that I would have to pay that again to get it back down, just can't justify it. They also said it wouldn't be covered by their insurance.

I just had a king size divan delivered and they managed to damage the walls as well.

I think I will have more luck just moving haha.

@Mr_Karate if you happen to come across a second maintenance manual give me a shout! Been checking Yahoo auctions and the last one sold over £50 before shipping which was a bit too much for me. I already have a photocopy of it. Also after some locks/keys as I only have one key myself.

More tinkering. I swapped back to all violet controls until my 7B CP arrives. No point in having three MVS buttons.

I also fitted a violet Seimitsu Dust Washer Wagara. You can see it under the regular dust cover. They are pretty fancy hologram things designed for the LSX-NOBI. Under the CP is a Black Wagara. I have another violet, a blue and two more black for when my two-player CP arrives.
