Perhaps the CBS mods were the motivation for Sony to create the  
version Chris mentions?

There is also that South Carolina ETV  BVH-1100 I hadn't seen before  
that is still on ebay:

Two-rack wide console:



Remounted control panel and "Works in a Box":



Front panel access to the card cage:



Lots of extended wiring with Molex and other connectors:


And the backside of the card cages.  Watch out for small, falling  
metal objects like screws or springs!
