I'd like to see an on-going thread of pictures of everybody's completed kits in different boxes. I'm sure they will be very creative in different sized chassis, different woods, some chromed, some painted, transformers displayed, covered, connector placement, tube display, etc. Maybe you could have a prize for amp of the week.
In the meantime, you mentioned to buy a Hammond chassis. Can you recommend a part number, also dimension size to look for that will hold your kit?
Will you offer additional instructions for modifying the parts on the board to fit a box -- volume control, connectors, etc.
Larry,
As of date of this post - the product is not yet linked on the website, so no one knows about it yet. It will go on the site next week, and then expect a month or two to go by before people start posting results.
As for the chassis, the board is 6" x 6" so any chassis large enough to accommodate the board internally as well as the transformers on top will work. The board used in the sample pictures was 8 x 16 inches. Smallest chassis you could use for this project is a 8 x 10 x 2.
