Where to buy 66 JTM45/100 LAYOUT ALUMINUM CHASSIS?

Post by leonard.gulyas » Thu May 17, 2012 6:18 pm

Dear forum members,

I would like to know where I could find a 66 LAYOUT ALUMINUM CHASSIS for a JTM 45/100 build.

I've seen at ceriatone, marstrans but I'm not impressed. Can somebody help me where can I buy/find a decent one with the holes predrilled.

Thanks in advance.

Marstran chassis worked for me: http://photobucket.com/AJWs_45-100 You do have to drill new holes for the IEC connector, and elongate two PT mouning holes. Those were minor issues. The result has been fantastic. He may still have one to sell.

Oh yeah...You also might want to contact S.Marshall about a "block end" type chassis!

Dom used to make some block-end 45/100 alu chassis. (don't know if he still does.) Very authentic and fantastic precision - everything lined up perfectly and all was a nice, close fit. Looks great too.

I guess I can get a chassis from Ceriatone but I'm wondering if Brian H's boards will fit in? Anyone?

I don't think they do.
But if you get the spec's fron NIK Brian might be able to work it from his end so they do.

Also.. do a search of the forum for aluminium JTM45/100 chassis and you might find the contact for s.marshall your looking for.
I had it at one point, but can't find it now.

Actually I just sent the money for the chassis and the transformer set to Brian this morning after he told me of the sale. Can't wait to put them all together

Brian has great iron. Have fun with your build! Take some pics along the way (it'll help if you need some help)

Absolutely. This is my first build ever, I'm definitely going to document it so well :D

Take your time.
Read all the schematics and layouts several times before starting.
Make sure you have good physical contact before you solder.

Look forward to seeing your results.
