These pics show parts loaded into the holes
Note that I moved the internal capacitor mounting holes back so that Marshall style indicator lamps will fit without being too close to the capacitor

Got the order, thanks Pete

I'd like to have a company make a face plate for my stout. Is the image in this thread able to be used as a faceplate template? Are the dimensions and hole locations accurate? I don't trust myself to measure accurately.

[EL34]

The drawings are ok, they are just here for illustrations


Better to have Mojo make the face plate because they make the chassis and already have the exact measurements

[guitardude57]

Does anyone make a head box for this built into
 the Plexi 6v6?

[EL34]

Mojo's cabinet shop can make it

It would be around $200 though


Seems like a bunch on money for such a small box

[guitardude57]

Yepper...exactly.

[PharmRock]

I am considering making a custom faceplate through bnplasers.  What are the center-to-center spacings for the holes on the front of the chassis, as well as distance from chassis top and/or bottom edge?  I didn't see this on any of the above diagrams.
Thanks!

[EL34]

I would just measure it
I don't have those figures right now

[PharmRock]

will do...I've imported your PDF into Corel Draw and going from there.  I'll post the measurements once I get it exact.

[EL34]

The faceplate is easy
All the holes are a standard size and the distance between each one is the same

[PharmRock]

After some inspection I noticed the grid lines in your images are spaced at 1/16 of an inch, so that makes it easy as well.

Thanks again...this is a solid chassis and perfect for my build.

I found more images of the chassis

[EL34]

Here's a couple shots of the Stout chassis in cabinets
A forum member made the cabinets
I designed and cut the front panel cutouts on my CNC

[shortfuse]

I know who made that cab I have one just like it he built for me back in 2015, that I am finally getting ready to start (been a tough past few years with work and surgery's).  That's what the parts order was for yesterday some of the items I lost or miss placed.
I really like the cut outs you did on the front.  Looks great.

Here I have a FrankenStout about to erupt.
