(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 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW 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) Greg w9gb |

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. Frank GM0CSZ / KN6WH |
