Where can a fellow find a chassis to house a bunch of components to assemble a multi-band single hole amplifier.















So, I have every thing that I need, just need something / someway of housing it so that my conscientious critics are stifled. I do not want to go the "make-your-own-with-angle-and-pop rivets" route.

Frontal dimentions are about 17 inches long (5.0 inchs + another 12 inches for the Tank circuit mounting chassis, relays, switches , etc.) and about 14 inches high. Have not figured depth yet as the Blower location gas not been finalized (bottow or rear of tube chassis).

I thought it was Westgate but, I don't see any chassis offered by them.

Just a suggestion, but depending on the weight of the components, you might want to consider steel rather than aluminum.

Once you've planned where each component would be best located, you can sketch out a full-scale template, and a sheet metal shop could knock it out professionally for not very much. Or a high school or trade school student could do it as a project for the cost of the material.

Westgate was offering the chassis that "FatBoy" is selling.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
