Wanted - EC2 enclosure

[Paul Wilton]

Does anyone have an EC2 enclosure surplus to requirements that they would be willing to sell?  The EC2 is now discontinued and I’m looking for one to mount a KPA100 into.

Being a UK ham then a European source is preferable from a shipping perspective but offers from further away appreciated.  It doesn’t need to be a virgin case - depending on where they are, a few existing holes could be acceptable.

Please reply off list if possible.

Why not have a case made. I'm having one made for a 2M linear, so that it
matches the K-Line. I can send you a name and phone number of a facility in
Hove, if it helps.

They aren't difficult to build. I made a couple with an inexpensive 8"
shear/brake and a drill press. You can see some of the details in this
google album.

If you don't have the equipment, they shouldn't be very expensive to
have made as Alan suggested.

I made one change. Instead of a lot of fiddly (but very clever) little
blocks to cut, drill and tap, I make them as four long rails of 1/4"
square stock. That resulted in tradeoffs that made it only marginally
easier than making all the blocks. For one, all the holes had to be that
much more accurately placed on the rails.
