[Elecraft] AT1 Step Attenuator Case?

[Don Wilhelm]

All,

I have 3 of Dave's "Test Bench" enclosures and they have really helped 
the organization at the test bench.  Previously the bare mini-modules 
were just laying on the workbench shelf, and I had to sort through them 
to get the one I wanted - Thanks to Dave, that has been solved, the 
mini-modules I use on a daily basis are right at hand, and all I need to 
do is reach for the right one in the stack - frustration gone.

The sliding lid works very well - the magnetic strip holds the lid 
closed and the sliding mechanism is well machined to allow the lid to 
open with little effort.

So if your mini-modules are in a jumble on your bench, Dave has a good 
solution and he does quality work.

73,
Don W3FPR
