DIY Case w/Thick Aluminum Front Panel, Switches, Pots, & Terminals

SOLD

DIY Preamp/Amp/DAC Aluminum Enclosure Case w/Switches, Pots, & Terminals

This is on the 'bay (with lots more pictures), which gives buyer protection and much lower shipping costs; currently no bites at $19 minimum bid.

Find by searching for "Preamp/Amp/DAC Aluminum Enclosure Case w/Switches, Pots, & Terminals"

Black anodized front panel is 17.25 in. wide X 2.4 in. tall X 0.26 in. thick

Internal dimensions are 17 in. wide X 5 7/8 in. deep X 2 in. tall

Height with feet is 2.7 in.

Top and bottom cases are 14 gauge aluminum (0.068 in.)

Already mounted on front panel are:

- 1 ea DPDT (ON-OFF-ON) power switch; see picture for ratings

- 2 ea DPDT (ON-OFF-ON) signal switch

- 2 ea DPDT (ON-ON) signal switch

Already mounted on rear panel are:

- 5 ea red-coded RCA jack

- 5 ea black-coded RCA jack

Also included but not mounted are:

- Illuminated pushbutton power switch (push on/push off)*

- Green pushbutton switch, NO (normally open)

The video shows the cosmetic condition of the front panel; note that at the bottom edge below the middle switch there's a little bit of missing anodize that I touched up with a black felt tip pen.

Also, the left and right edges of the front panel got scraped in storage, so I refinished them with a surface-conditioning wheel and painted them with a marking pen.

* I tested the illuminated switch for function; it lights up (upper and lower termnals), but I'm a bit puzzledby the switching terminals (the three in a horizontal row).

It can be either NO or NC by using the center terminal and one of the edge terminals, but the "on" resistance is 60-ish ohms; not sure what to make of that but I'm not really an electronics guy.
