Title: Ultimate Chassis For Solid State Designs?
Post by: WBear2GCR on October 27, 2014, 05:01:16 PM


I stumbled across this audacious DIY chassis.

We tend to think in terms of traditional chassis and front panels, here's another way, over-the-top and expensive, but still... would be sweet for a little SDR receiver or even a Hermes type unit?

Thought folks might find this interesting.

It's real interesting. I always liked machinist but have never done it nor can afford a mill that would do what your picture shows. let alone the maybe expensive block of aluminum that was made from!

Heck, I'd take the floor sweepings.
Make a darn nice pillow for Robbie.

His old one is getting kind of matted, oil and grime soaked and other
stuff best left to his kind.  ;D

Standard stuff for high end RF systems - each circuit section has it's own partitioned area with all the ins and outs via decoupled feedthroughs.
