Title: Hammond box / 5e3 chassis
Post by: HommeMarrBuckley on July 17, 2013, 10:25:44 pm

Hello all

I was reading elsewhere and was wondering if anyone on here has any experience with Hammond aluminum chassis.

Which might be suitable for a 5E3 chassis? 

I read that some feel it's not thick enough to support everything.

Are the tools required pretty intensive? (Other than unibit and dremel cutting wheel)

It might be out of my abilities but was exploring avenues others than purchasing  a chassis here, mojo, weber, etc

Thanks

I just used this chassis on my recent D'MoSo56 build and am quite happy with it.

IF you type in tube amp chassis on ebay, you will find a lot of options available for blank chassis.

With respect, Tubenit

I'm pretty sure that chassis is from

Brian is great. The alumiwelding is worth the extra $5.
