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

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)
