[Heathkit] Warrior as a rack-mount

[Paul Kraemer]

Rick
I have mounted a Warrior in a conventional Bud cabinet (same as rack) and it 
fit fine other than the holes in wrong place (that was stupidity IMHO) and 
no place to land the holes across the top. Just put in dummy screws to fill 
the holes
As far as shielding, the finals are covered on top. A perforated bottom 
cover should button it up very well
