Archives of Manufacture
CONNORTONE makes available the complete set of precision industrial specifications, design archives, and additive manufacturing templates for the CHDR(G) Chowdinator. These documents represent the full and final expression of the instrument. There will be no revisions, as there can be no improvement upon a standard already achieved. We present them with the gravity they deserve.
Each file is designated below by its formal title, archival format, and magnitude. CONNORTONE accepts no responsibility for the use to which these specifications may be put, nor for the quality of any instrument produced thereby by parties other than ourselves. The four (4) brass screws and four (4) brass washers are not included in any archive.

Notes on Manufacture
CONNORTONE presents these archives in good faith and expects they will be used for their intended purpose: the construction of a precision porch board emulator. The tone of the instrument improves with use. The embossed percussion surface may be replaced in the event of wear, or upon finding a better one at a flea market or on eBay. Do not omit the four (4) brass washers during reassembly.
We have no further technical support to offer. The specifications are complete. The instrument is complete. Thank you.
