I am contacting you because I need to re-home a 24U rack/cabinent enclosure. I have owned it for About 20 years. It was out of my possession for a few years in a production environment (audio/video) during which time it was painted black with latex paint.? The steel is otherwise powder coated a light blue. You can see the powder coating on the doors, which were not used in the studio. Latex paint is easily removed with a chemical stripper or media blasting. I was about to remove the paint, but I figured the new owner may prefer black. https://photos.app.goo.gl/2fLwtnjDWqcZbnUE9 This would be great for a fixed-mobile repeater setup or a server rack or good or audio equipment. It would also be good good for a permanent install. There is movable shelving for using non rack mountable equipment, including a sliding tray. Also, a power bar secured inside the cabinet. Cabinet is on heavy duty casters I added myself. They are removable.? Two swiveling, two rigid. Top of cabinet is removable for cooling accessories. Locks would have to be added if desired. Cab Dimensions (Inches) 30Dx23Wx51.5H (~54? Tall with casters) I love this rack, but it has to go. Located in Wilbraham, MA. Asking $500. Offers entertained. If interested Call, Text, or reply here. -Rich KB1WDW 413-250-6974 From bc at councilman.com Fri Aug 19 08:09:10 2022 From: bc at councilman.com (Brad Councilman) Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2022 08:09:10 -0400 Subject: [HCRA] Volunteers needed: Will Bike For Food 09/25/22 Message-ID: If interested, contact Gary KB1AKU: groy77 at gmail.com Event: https://www.foodbankwma.org/events/will-bike-4-food/ Note that some members are already committed to staffing the Big E booth that Sunday.
