THE RAMSEY ELECTRONICS CASE, KNOB & HARDWARE OPTION
Your finished receiver can be installed in a variety of enclosures of your own
design and choosing. Use of the inexpensive and attractive Ramsey case
and knob kit will give your unit that finished look and increase its resale
value. These sturdy black instrument cases are supplied with neatly-lettered
front and rear panels, knobs, rubber feet and mounting screws.
OTHER ENCLOSURE RECOMMENDATIONS
While we believe that the Ramsey enclosure and knob option is a fine value
for finishing off the AR1 receiver, we‘re happy to give you a couple of
additional suggestions . If your first goal is economy and rugged portability,
you will find that the circuit board can be nicely mounted in a standard VHS
videotape storage box, which also gives room for a speaker or earphone
storage, and even a roll of antenna wire. The controls are easily mounted at
one end of such a box. It may be necessary to cut away the molded posts
which secure the tape cassette itself. These storage boxes come in several
styles, so pick one which truly looks practical as a project enclosure.
The most economical metal enclosure nicely suited for Ramsey PC board
kits is the Radio Shack 270-253A. This metal utility cabinet can
accommodate one or two different receiver boards (for example, the AR1
plus the SR2 shortwave receiver ) plus speaker, with room for various
refinements you might want to add such as a bigger battery pack, fine tuning
control, and so forth.
