Well, negociate a deal and send the whole bunch to Peter for inclusion with his kits. I can't afford a kit so would appreciate it if some could be shipped alone.Those are about as perfect as I've ever seen and I like them both .I haven't used your boards yet🙁
Go for the thick backplate and if neccessary one could recess the RCA's. It should be a quality case so I would like it as heavy as possible.😀
number of ordered chassis on the wiki has reached fifty now - not bad...
Lots of work for Peter 😎

Variac: Sorry to disappoint you buddy, but I went to the store today, and they're closed until the 22nd (doh!)... seems the owner is on vacation. I won't even know if they still carry them till then.
Perhaps the finished chassis should have the thicker back plate and the unfinished (which I assume we drill ourselves) could be thinner. I appreciate it might add to costs but might be more versatile for anyone considering non-RCA connectors.

The web site is up and running and here were the most info is currently on: http://www.specializedkits.com/integrated-amp.html
At the bottom you'll find a link to an order form, fill it out and send it to me. I will reply with payment info. Any suggestions for improvements are welcome.
The difference between finished and unfinished chassis is only $15, so I will not be supporting unfinished version.
A family emergency requires me to head back home, and I'll be away starting Saturday evening through Wednesday afternoon.

The only thing I think you should add is an option for recessed RCAs for those of us who want to use short RCAs on the rear panel, which I noticed is 3/16" thick.

That's what special instructions window is for. If you want recess for short Cardas RCAs it can be done, just specify it. Recess is required for short Cardas RCAs only. Other RCAs jacks don't need that to be done (but check to be sure).
Peter,
I'm almost ready to order but have a question about the AC inlets.
Looking at the Digikey catalog I see part Q204 refers to figure 2 which looks like it has an integrated fuse? Did you change the IEC inlet?
The reason I ask is that I have some Acme IEC inlets and fuses and I am wondering if they are going to fit:

No big deal either way, I just need to know what to order.
Thanks, Bill

The cutout in a rear panel will be made specifiacally for this receptacle. It is integrated with a fuse and I noticed that type is used by many hi-end companies (Rowland, Naim, Lamm). You might use similar product, but make sure it fits the opening or make a note that no AC receptacle hole is required and install the one of your choice.

Hey guys, I want to know that is the XVB93M1-5N push lock mechanism = to a switch? So if I have that volume control I can be able to connect the AMP on and off from that mechanism?
Any pros and cons?😕

Hey Peter,
How do you used the Noble pot or how do you wired them? Never seen or used them before? is like resistor
(10k..100k values)? and can we mount the pot inside your chassis without a mounting bracklet?
thanks

Looks great, Peter.
Several questions.
You mentioned an alternate arrangement with the mains receptacle and speaker posts (post #224). What is the final layout?
Does the mains receptacle with the integrated fuse posted above (#290) mean we no longer need a separate fuse holder?
Can we request drilling for the Cardas patented posts, or are we responsible for the extra mounting hole?
No complaints, but if I have to drill my own holes I'll have to lay off the Starbucks for a while...

There is still an option for blank panel, if this is not suitable. On special requests, I can have the Patented posts holes drilled, same for the recess on RCA's.
By using specified receptacle, no additional fuse is needed. This receptacle (and layout) provides more clearance for AC wires.😉

You wire those pots like any other. I don't know if the ones from Percy have a fourth pin, if they do, you don't use it. One pin to the input, one to the ground, center pin is output.
judging from the small images on percy catalog. it looks like there was a 4th pin on the pot. that confused me. now i get it.
what values should i get (10k,25k,50k,100k.250k...)?
nice website. mac user?
thanks again

Does it show that mac user designed it? I'm on PC.
I would go with 25K version. You might use parallel 22k resistor or not, only depending if this improves the sound.
