Our local industrial supply electronics retail store (Vetco) carries a selection of Hammond Boxes and I didn’t find anything suitable. I also checked the Hammond Web site but again the closest match I could find was a bit larger than I wanted (although, if pushed into a corner I agree it could work). They are heavy aluminum — cast aluminum I think. And, this is one thing I didn’t like about them but I guess my reasons for not liking them were a bit trivial. 73, phil, K7PEH P.S. I should admit that the main reason I am not rushing out to build this W6PQL amp is because I haven’t had the spare time and I have this back-of-the-head thought that Elecraft would come out with a 2-meter brick announcement the day I finished that project. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
