[Amps] CHASSIS

[Will Matney]

Larry,

There's a cage that goes with those chassis from Hammond also, but I don't think Mouser lists them now. The cage is made to drop on the top of the chassis and is well ventilated front to back. These were used for tube amps (stereo amps) years ago like Heathkit and several others. They make a good cabinet for amateur use as I've used probably 50 of them (of this style), though not only from Hammond but others.

Best,

Will
