Case for the Morse Tutor


 

开云体育

Hello All:? I decided that I needed to put some plastic over the unit to keep the dust out and also to make the unit a little more ruggedized for my use around the shop, the car and the office.? I looked for on-line sources but since I don’t have a 3D-printer I opted for a simpler technology and used clear Lucite sheet stock with corner spacers and 4/40 hardware to secure the panels.? I had a lot of cut-off scraps laying around the shop and decided to use my 1/8th inch stock for the construction.? I am including three photos of the unit in its plastic cover.? Thus far I’m really pleased with it and the unit is easily heard through the plastic without drilling or routing out a speaker grill.

All for now, 73,

WA9IRS? Allan

Great job!

You might check to see if it will run on USB power. For some reason (and may have an older board but the form factor looks right), it runs fine on USB.

Allan,

Your solution is elegant. By any chance, are you going to offer a case set for a fee? I too have been looking for a case for my morse tutor. But, I did not like the 3D printer versions. They mask the beauty of the decoder.

Hi Dennis,

This plastic case was a “one-off” that was inspired by my own frustration with having to share my electronic shop with a wood and metal work shop with no separation between them.? I’m sure you understand the amount of dust that can easily be generated and become airborne attaching itself to everything around.? To prevent that I worked up the plastic case as a necessity.? As a result I do not have any additional cases to offer up. It just was done to self protect my Morse Tutor!

All for now, 73,

Allan

Great job!

You might check to see if it will run on USB power. For some reason (and may have an older board but the form factor looks right), it runs fine on USB.

Thanks for the info. I believe that I have at least one of those in my connector “box” under the bench. I’ll have to get it out and give it a try!? Thanks Mark.
