[GreenKeys] Fwd: OT: Motorola Cabinet

[w9ddd at tapr.org]

Not a problem with this one.  

I've never seen one narrower than 19", but I lead a sheltered life?  There is a 23" version.
Then as someone mentioned there's the WE/Bell system that uses 12-24 screws rather than the more common 10-32 screws. Add to that the ones with holes for a snap in nuts.    I first ran into those with DEC computers.  

John, W9DDD

>> Thity or forty years ago these cabinets and usually the equipment inside were easy to get, and often a prop in science fiction films. They were used as cabinets for two-way radio base stations, usually high power low band VHF. In those times, brute force high power was used to get the desired coverage. I worked on quite a few of them.  Many were re-used for ham band repeaters.  "Do everything with style!"-  Kurt Hummel on the TV show "Glee"
