Just got this today, but wondering if the tilt is harm-less....

I wouldn't worry about it. Looks great!
 
I would call that a "lean to", not a stand.
 
Technically though you get the best W&F values running the deck horizontally :)

Having new side panels made?
 
Yeap, I got the rack sides and removed the wood ones, not sure which ones look better...
 
1520, very nice.
 
1520, very nice.
Thanks ! ----Actually it is a fully modified 1520 by Tim de Paravicini under the EAR badge, full playback and record capabilities with 3 different EQs (including his own eq curve).
 
I played some tapes last night and heard no sonic drawbacks having the deck leaned, and of course it is easier to load tape, which was a good thing.
