Default GP Slot Machine Jig

Somewhere I saw the design for a jig/table for the Great Planes Slot Machine. I can't remember where I saw it but the author used it to cut straight slots in some really thin balsa (1/16" sheet if I remember correctly). I just recently acquired a Slot Machine and would like to build the jig but now I can't seem to find the article. I'm pretty sure I saw it in one of the model airplane magazines. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and could tell me where to look?

Thanks in advance.

The June 2006 edition of Model Aviation also had an article on this.

Hope this helps
