[Premium-Rx] 3U rack enclosures for Premium RXs

[k0dan]

Jan, they are rather lightweight, but with some receivers in them, their
strength (and weight) and are shored up. I have two of these cheapie music
racks and have found both to be very satisfactory. Will email you pix
direct.

Here are several suppliers. They will all send you a printed catalog, and
have web presence as well.
www.fullcompass.com
www.americanmusical.com
www.immusic.com
www.musiciansfriend.com
www.samash.com
Search for keywords such as "rack", "cabinet", etc. I have found these
dealers to be good sources for mixers, audio processors, and stage
microphones, all of which can find a place in the hamshack or well equipped
listening post.

Good luck and 73
