I would like to build some tube transmitters and am curious where
other people get their chassis? Article 1 (The Novice Special, from
the arrl website) calls for LMB SQ-1 cabinet (8.5 x 4.5 x 4.5 in)
which "comes complete with chassis and front panel".
Article 2 (A Three-Band One-Tube Novice Transmitter, from Dec '57 QST)
calls for a 2 x 7 x 13 in aluminum chassis enclosed in a 7 x 9 x 15 in
aluminum box.
Any suggestions?
Thanks and 73,

Mouser has a respectable line of aluminum and steel chassis in their
catalog. The selection, today, is not what it was back in the 50's or
60's, but you can find what will work. Prices are a lot higher, too,
especially for cabinet-type metalwork! I just pulled the '57 issue you
spoke of. No problem with the chassis but the cabinet no longer exists
from Bud, et al, much less Hammond. There is a fellow who ads in several
pubs that makes aluminum chassis and cabinets. He's resonable and I'm
sure he can gin up what you need. He's located in the Mid-Atlantic area
and I saw him, last weekend, at a local hamfest.
