Recently, in the box with my unfinished electronic projects, I found two TA2024 boards that I have purchased from Arjen few years back. They were just collecting dust so I have decided to put them in a new case. Found nice vintage looking case (NOS) on Ebay and after two evenings the TA2024 board found a new home. Here are the results:
front
back
top
inside 1
inside 2
There is nothing to compare how small the case is but the TA2024 barely misses some of the sockets. I had to put the speaker terminals a bit higher or otherwise, due to their length, they would hit the board.
Right now the amp is playing at my father's house as he liked the small dimensions. Connected to small bookshelf Mission speakers it sounds nice, but according to my father, lacks a bit on the low end. Though a correction has to be made since my father likes to listen to the music with over saturated bass.

It was a NOS case that I got on Ebay. Probably spent 40 or so years in a box somewhere. Haven't seen another one like this one. It definitely gives the amp a vintage feel.
