Default enclosures



Any one have a source for new or used metal enclosures. I'm trying to
resurrect an old Johnson Matchbox and the original enclosure measured
10" x 10" x 7". Ideas?? Thanks in advance.

Wow, the price on that CO-7 cabinet has gone up quite a bit
since I bought one in the 70's for a SSTV monitor. (Think
I paid about $20 then.)

Gary and Ken -

Actually, IF you desire an LMB / Heath SB-series / Collins S-line look

My best suggestion is to find the junker SB-400 /SB-300 and S line junker
chassis on eBay, such as this item number: 5764132119
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW

It's a great starting point and you can use the cutouts OR fill the cutouts
with aluminum or steel sheets
available from K&S Engineering (local hobby store) or your local hardware
stores (Ace; Lowe's; Home Depot)

===========================================
A suitable enclosure could be made from double sided printed circuit board
material , available from the surplus trade or at Hamfests.
The 'lid' supposedly of identical size as bottom could be fitted by means of
screws having their nuts soldered into 4 upper inside corners. For the above
enclosure you would need 2 pieces 10"x10" and 4 pcs 7"x10" .
PCB material can be easily trimmed to size and subsequently soldered. The
final enclosure could be polished and subsequently varnished if appearance
remains important.
