This seems an idea. I will probably try to adjust the rack ears - as I
mentioned in another post, they are not original, although they don't
seem to excess the proper length.

> I am using mine primarily as a sound module ... so I don't mind not having the pads at the bottom of the angled section of the rack.

I'm using mine as a sequencer driving the rhythm in my studio, so pads
are not so important, but I do care about those lovely 16 buttons... I
will check if they are still reachable after moving the unit to the
top.

> That unit looks pretty good. I bought a cheaper one, but had to get those expensive SKB screw and nut kits ... since it didn't have the drilled/ tapped screw openings in the frame.

OK, if you want to see the exact picture, here it is:
