By any chance, do any of you have the plans for the wooden cabinets that were sold by Crown Audio for either their DC300a amplifier or their IC
150a pre-amplifier ??
I just bought them without the cabinets and I'd love to be able to make a set for them.
Thanks in advance, Matt

Are you trying to match what used to be available, or couldn't you scribble up a pair of them from scratch?
As I recall (it's been 25 years or more), these weren't particularly intricate designs. There was a grate or screening to allow for the considerable thermal venting required....
The 'cool setup' then was a 19" rack, enclosed in a fancy cabinet, with whisper fans. Or a roadie's rack in an Anvil case...
Patriarch I religiously wear hearing protection NOW. In the '70's, in the audio business, not so much so.

I was hoping to recreate from original design. You are right about their simplicity, but it's been awhile since I saw the enclosures, and I can't remember how they positioned the rack mount metal in them. I believe it was a 19" rack with 1" spacing of the holes.
Does anyone have one of these old cabinets that they would take a few pictures and measurements of?
