Hey guys,
looking to build both a MMM amp and s11 PS.... all in the one box.... so i needed a pretty big case...
my idea was to cannibalise a broken VCR...
opinions:
1) leave off the fascia and use a flat bit of wood, stained or painted for the front panel..
2) use the VCR fascia, and rough it up, blank the holes and use some sort of filler putty.... wire in the POT remotely and have a large 35mm alu knob sitting where that hole is on the right hand side... i am starting to like this idea more and more.... it would then end in a sand-able primer and some paint color, maybe silver, maybe black
in either case, the alu top cover panel is scratched up and i'd likely have to paint that either silver or black, or maybe a striking color like dark red or blue to offset the either wooden panel or modified VCR panel....
thoughts? pointers?
am i nuts?
cheers,
joe
