[Boatanchors] 388 cabinet?

[Todd, KA1KAQ]

Sounds like you got a 75A-2/3 cabinet. The 32V/75A-1 cabinet will work
only because it's deeper. The actual 51J/R-388 cabinet has a higher
cutout on the back.

Howard Mills sells reproductions painted and ready to go for somewhere
between $400-$500. If you can't find the correct one, I have a 32V
cabinet powercoated by Howard that is available for about half.
