Ok - in English:

First, I was planning on mounting it on the inside of the front panel: 
no holes/drilling/etc. You have to open up the top to get to all the 
tuning knobs anyway.

Next, you would follow the tuning guide, which is basically the following:
1) Set Feet to 2'
2) Tune oscillator on highest A
3) Tune oscillator on lowest A
4) Repeat 3 for 4', 8', and 16'

The board I described lets you easily do the tuning step because of few 
things:
1) Has built-in tuning reference
2) Shows beat frequency on red/green LED. Kind of a simplified strobe-tuner.
3) Also allows hearing this beat frequency and/or reference tone/oscillator.
4) Has display to tell you which voice is sounding
