Okay, a Drake knob is just as classy. The 2 inch skirt fits my cabinet perfectly. ? Sent from Yahoo Mail.

I found an eBay seller that has a Collins style knob for the tuner. The extended edges are a feature of the project box that I got from Aliexpress and the uBITX just shoehorns into it. It's a work in progress, but I think it'll pull together nicely. 73 ? Sent from Yahoo Mail. On Saturday, December 30, 2017 1:03 PM, Shawn Reed via Groups.Io <sreedq1014@...> wrote: Hi Thomas. I really like your use of material for the inside corners, on the front. And the extended front edges -? look good!

Saw the case makings of yours? for the Tut Hill on one of your project pages. Nice. I have two of these radios collected. One with the factory case - 80M. The other I aim to build it's case custom. Even as far as the symbols, too generic. Looking at your fabricated ubitx enclosure, could you tell me how to avoid such a gap - snag - in your upper right corner of the lid? I, myself would have trouble living with that. Case building is but one aspect of amature radio, and not always the objective, pursuant of. Neither, is it necessarily,? a "case" of agony to display. Sometime, though, all I am interested in is the enclosure, and the accommodations needed to consider, in?design,?for the circuitry inside. ?This paragraph of yours was in the page presentation.....?? "Making your projects look presentable, is not an absolute necessity. Some even prefer the rustic look of their projects and see it as a ¡°red badge of courage¡±, showing the agony of their efforts. After all, scotch tape and a penciled label can? identify just about anything, or merely writing on the chassis. Having said that, there is a very small group of hams that like to see their projects look like they were done on purpose. I will try to address that group". ? Thank you for the tips. I cut with a most ancient tool, but sharpest edge available. Be that obsidian. Great joy in crafting something with one's own imagination, every now and then - a must. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 73, Shawnr. kf7yff ? ? |
