Re: Handles and feet - was KPA 500 vs New 1500 watt amp

As the number of Elecraft boxes on my shelf has grown, what I have long
feared has recently happened: The handle on one box (or probably a screw on
the handle) created a small scratch on the nude side of neighboring box. It
looks like the KPA1500 handle design is unchanged. Maybe it is time for an
upgrade of the handle design, or maybe we could use a kit of add-on feet or
spacers?

It's for carrying and the little feet keep the case from getting scratched.

There's no space or - in Elecraft products.
