Controlling the monitors behind the MIP
This week, the monitors for my 737 MIP will arrive. two 19" widescreen and one 15". Any good ideas on how to be able to switch on and off those puppies? The adjustment knobs is not important, as I can reach them when I have to do adjustments, but for the "normal day operations" I would like to reach the on/off knobs.
I've fiddled around with an idea involving some mechanical linkage pushing on the knobs, but I would love to toss the question into the arena and get some feedback.
How do you do it? I could allways let the monitors be in soft stand-by mode, but that's really not a good idea. Fire hazard over time, shorter lifespan, power usage and so on...
