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.
===========================================
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.
