Hi guys,
I'm building a tube amp enclosed in a chassis with the transformer on the bottom plate. The transformer is a Hammond 270DAX (http://www.hammondmfg.com/pdf/5c0026-27.pdf) that has wires coming out of the bottom, on the same level as the mounting wings.
I would like to bold the transformer to the bottom of the chassis or on standoffs, platform or risers, or whatever you guys could recommend.
Having looked around online, I've found little in terms of choices for how this could be done while still being somewhat stable (standoffs are small and I don't know if they'll hold the weight, a platform is a great idea but requires some decent machining and I haven't come across risers that could be used. The one idea that I saw that was reasonable, though I would kind of like to avoid, is cutting the side panels on the transformers to release the wires from the sides.
I might be able to bend the wings on the transformer and try to squeeze the wires underneath but it just doesn't sound like the best solution, though it certainly is the easiest.
Any ideas guys? Photos and links would be best.
Thanks!
