Hacked ST-70 chassis salvage

[Blair]

I did this for another member her the past few days:





Just sharing in case anyone needs ideas or inspiration. The piece on the back is a 3/4" pine board to accommodate spacing for a standard IEC receptacle without it hitting the transformer.
The faceplate is Purple Heart.

Overall, it looks pretty nice.

Looking fantastic!

I love purple heart... but the local place doesn't carry thins anymore (despite a town full of scrollsawers).

Cheers!

Thanks!

Hopefully we get to see images as it completes.

I have about 30" of this 1/8" Purple Heart stock if you want some. It sat there for about four years until a few days ago.

nice !
my only nitpicking suggestion would be to consider using black (zinc oxide?) face plate screws, or painting them black....the silver color doesn't work so well IMHO

[Blair]

I did not have 1/2" black oxide screws:) just 3/8"
Which is too short.

Looks like it will be an excelent home for the Fisher output transformers i had squirled away , and just happen to have 1/2 inch long black oxide srews and 4/40 in black to fit the off on switch .
