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,

Well, Ross.
The dates of the articles are about the time I got my novice license.
Back then we could go to a sheet metal shop and tell them the size of
the chassis ( box to them!) and they would cut it and fold it and spot
weld it. This was using galvanized sheet steel. I supposed aluminum
sheet was available, but cost more. I am sure you could go to a
similar sheet metal shop or heating/cooling shop and have them make a
box for you.

Another possibility is to watch Ebay for something that will work for
you. Although that might take a while.

Good luck.
