[Elecraft] Inveigled mind!

No welding permitted!

The cabinet goes together sweetly. W&E came up with some little cubes of
aluminum, with drilled and tapped holes for little (4-40 I think) machine
screws. You sprinkle them around the boards, and screw the panels to the
verious holes, and a cabinet occurs.

If you simply take your time, and stop if there are any questions, your
$1,500 will go dahdidahdit dahdahdidah before you know it. You can use your
store-bought rig for the [necessary] door-stop.

Welcome!
