Where exactly is the mains inlet and power switch located in Monster 
Base? Surely it can lay on a table comfortably?

I already thought of putting A-155, A-154, a joystick and Plan B 
Milton Venti sequencer (if it turns out to be good) to the lower row 
of the Monster Base. All 168HP would be needed for that...
