K3 accessory chassis?

[Jim AB3CV]

Now that Santa has a P3 on his sleigh I'm looking to clean up the little
bits of operating debris I've been creating to operate various functions.
I'm looking for a nice box that would complement the K-line look. I don't
need it as big as a P3 but I want something bigger than the usual Radio
Shack plastic things so that I can put in my current switches and circuitry
and add little bits of new things as they come along.
Suggestions welcome.

I got couple of quick responses of Tentec. Any idea which of the black and
charcoal color choices come closest to K3?

Thanks

I'd go with black over charcoal.

Amazon vends a very wide variety of aluminum enclosures of all sizes.
Some are for the Euro boards. There is a company in Ithaca NY, "Lansing
Enclosures," that vends a wide variety of very attractive metal
enclosures of all sizes. These seem to be mild steel, and are therefore
a bit harder to work than the aluminum sort.

You could buy or scrounge some chassis that is "close" and then purchase
a spare P3 side panel from Elecraft and cut it down to fabricate a new
front panel with a perfect paint match.  (Probably should check with
Elecraft first to make sure spare panels are available.)
