WTB: FE126e cabinets near Ramstein

weikertball · 17th November 2010, 12:02 PM

As the title says. I'm stationed here in Ramstein and I'm very limited to tools and wood. Sucks, I know. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pre made or if somebody wants to venture and build a pair of cabs, that would be great! Bare MDF would be fine for me...for now. Thanks

There is a fellow on German eBay building at least Frugel-Horns for the FE126e. May be interested in foing FH Mk3. He has complied with licencing.

Good plywood is worthwhile over MDF.

Yeah, those aren't that expensive either but I would probably have to set up a german bank account to pay for them. Hopefully somebody near me can chime in.

Hi,
...I dunno whether this hits your needs "dead-center" , but Saarbrücken is not too far off
Ramstein.

IIRC this guy has been in the business for quite a long time, being some kind of a "regularly
reviewed" in both of the german speaker-builder magazines "Klang & Ton" and "Hobby-Hifi".
No affiliation with this guy or something like this on my side.
Hope this helps.

That's pretty close to me. Hopefully, there isn't a language barrier

Ramstein has a pretty decent wood shop in the basement of the north side gym. They also sell wood. You have to go through a short course before you can use the tools. IIRC the briefings are held every saturday at 1000. The people there are friendly and I'm sure they'd be willing to help you out with what you want to build.

Oh sweet. I think my dorms are a couple minutes walk away from there. I had no idea. I've only been here about 2 weeks. Have you been stationed here?

xyphen · 24th November 2010, 07:37 AM

I'm also in the dorms on ramstein. If you haven't found it already, I'd suggest checking out ramsteinyardsales.com. It has all sorts of stuff for cheap. I was looking to build my own speakers last year until I found a couple of decent pairs on that site. People are always buying new bose setups from the bx and selling their old but decent ginormous speakers.
