Have I mentioned my memory is like a steel sieve? Almost nothing was as I remembered. I musta dreamed it or been completely immersed in swapping out speaker binding posts last time The so called drip pan was there but actually quite nicely made and from aluminum tho formed on a metal brake and certainly not CNC'd. And it was mounted opposite of what I remembered. Some of those other (I thought) CNC'd pieces inside are actually cast... win some/lose some. The pan in question is there to cover & shield a largish PCB that attaches to the inside of the bottom cover between the two inspection windows. A non-hardening adhesive has been used to affix it and it migrates a thin fil of oil you'll see in subsequent pics. The bottom cover itself is cast aluminum if anyone was wondering (I was!) and I'm convinced its powder coated rather than painted as there's a tell-tale small uncoated bare spot that would make the perfect wire hanging corner for the powder coating conveyer application/dryer system. I've seen those bare wire spots before on about everything I've had powder coated.
Pore over the pic and I'll be back after taking my dog for a round of "chuck-it" and cover the rest...
