wrote: This is almost too dumb to mention, but after years of struggling to prop up heavy chassis on my workbench, it finally occurred to me to screw some heavy corner braces into the chassis mounting holes. Doh! This is especially handy with this particular chassis, which is narrow and heavy. If you put braces on all four corners, you can even turn the chassis upside down without crunching original components. http://antiqueradio.org/art/temp/chassisholder.jpg Regards, Phil Nelson Phil's Old Radios http://antiqueradio.org/index.html Very nice Phil, Here's more to consider. 10 years ago, I saw a rig at a local small PC shop that was a lazy susan with a rack mounted on it that held a PC on it's side. There was a lot to it, storage bins, power strip, etc. Seems to me that a single vertical brace with a slot in it would hold almost any radio on its side. If the brace were tied to a piece of plywood on a lazy susan and there were hangers for wires as well as mounts for a DVM and scope, that would make an ergonomic radio work area. de ah6gi/4 -- |
