Questions about ordering assembled kit

Post by cradleofflames » Fri Jul 02, 2010 12:26 pm

Can I order a black large box instead of the small box?

Can I get rocker switches installed instead of the typical toggles but still have the pilot light hole drilled?

Toggles are a lot easier to break than rockers. Not to mention with the conventional toggle/pilot light when I have a power scale/master volume installed I will either lose a channel input, lose the pilot light, or have to put it on the back.

What about IEC power cable?

Large box is no problem, there is a small upcharge. I'll have to check with Fido to see what the amount is.

I can't accommodate the request for rocker switches, sorry. We don't have a punch that large.

Could a 50 watt kit be built into the 100 watt mv chassis and headbox?
All that would need to be done is drill out (or replace with a custom) faceplate since if I remember right the holes for the additional inputs are already in the chassis.

That should solve most of my problems: rocker switches, I believe detachable power cable. Drilling an additional hole nearly the "metro" stamp on the faceplate should be less of a problem.

It would be like an old DR504 with extra holes for power tubes since they only had one chassis.

Yes it could, but the 50W board mounts are in different places. You should use the MV kit board instead.

Thanks!
When you get a chance let me know total cost.

I take it I'd have to phone order that when I'm ready?
