Would it be possible to get a mechanical drawing of where the tube sockets, mounting holes (etc) are on the board in PDF form?
If I build a get*set*go I'd like to make my own chassis. I'm planning to use a single piece of (approximately) 1/8" thick aluminum, 16" wide and 16 - 20" deep. I'll cut all the holes for the tubes, switch, power cord, speaker terminals, and mounting in a piece of flat stock and then bend the sheet metal at right angles to form a front and rear panel, so the resulting chassis will be 16 wide, 2 - 3" tall (or as tall as necessary), and 12 - 14" deep. This will only account for three sides of the box, so I'll likely use some decorative wood to make the sides and perforated metal to use the bottom. Of course, I run my ST-35 and Ikes without a bottom so perhaps I shouldn't break tradition.
If the results are promising and there is interest, I could consider making additional chassis.
Thanks in advance!
