CP-251 in a rack - how does it fit?

The Moog Forum Moogerfooger Forum

I’m thinking about racking up my foogers, and I’ve seen several pictures where the CP-251 type rack is directly beneath the 6U Moogerfooger pedal rack, like this:

Since the power connector for the CP-251 is on the top when racked I have to assume that Moog planned for some room to allow the power plug to be connected, probably just behind the 6U rack - am I right? Or does it go in front of the pedal that is above it?

Well, then I saw this photo, and I’d like to know how this guy got the power connector plugged into his CP-251 with that Lexicon directly above it:
Does my question make sense? What am I missing?

The 251 has a connection at the top and at the back! There’s a little hole in the 3U rack to accommodate for this.

(/me runs to look at his 251)

Ahh, so it’s probably under that black plastic round plug thingie.
Brilliance!
Thanks for the quick reply!

The 351/352/201 rack mount kit comes with a Wood block, screws/nuts, etc. and a jumper cable to move the power to the ‘inside’ port.

('cept mine came with absolutely nothing but the sheet metal… curses! Moog was good enough to send me the hardware, instructions and jumper cable but I’m minus the wood block … double curses! )

I also have images of the instructions that I can post here, or you can go to knobtweak to download them if by some chance you got a kit and are looking for instructions.

Thanks for the tip, I checked it out on KnobTweak.
I’m trying to build something custom. Not sure if it is going to work yet. I’ll post pics if it does.
