Re: [Doepfer_a100] Screws for installing rails in wooden case

You need screws of a type, which is called in German "Spax" (didn't find 
a translation). A picture is like

I think, 25mm x 2,0 mm should be the right dimension

You have to drill 2.8 mm holes in the rails, which are located far 
enough from the front bar, but leave at least 1 mm front the rear (or 
call it inner) border of the rail.
If you want to be perfect you can drill a 6mm wide, 0.8mm deep conic 
section for the head of the screw (in German the tool is called 
"Kegelschnittbohrer")
