[Homebrew_PCBs] Control box ideas

2005-06-27 by Robert Hedan

drill too.  - ST"

We have different standards.   :D


For those of you who are budget-challenged like me, I've been trying to find
an alternative to the $20+ metal cases sold locally.   Looking for a donour?
Old VCRs!!!

I'm about to gut out 4 VCRs that I've been stockpiling in a corner 'cause I
hate throwing away 'things'.    <--  grandmaster packrat

I'm going to check out the transformers for the drilling station and store
the circuits for future scavenging.  The cases make excellent control boxes,
they are already certified, rear power outlet, fuse, ventilation, bla bla
bla.  Just add a fan and slap in your own custom board, bolt on a face
plate, which is WAAAAY easier to do than an entire box, and you should have
a 1/2 decent box.
