[Premium-Rx] Desktop Rack Cabinet For Racal RA6790

[ToddRoberts2001 at aol.com]

Thanks to everyone who wrote to me with info about finding a manufacturer of 
a tabletop rack cabinet with a 5 1/4" front panel opening and at least 20" 
depth that will fit the Racal RA6790, Harris RF-590, Collins HF-2050 and other 
receivers. So far Craig W9CLA had the closest match with EQUIPTO ELECTRONICS 
that make a table top cabinet with 5 1/4" opening and a 22" depth. Masamichi 
JA2GXU had the second closest match with ELMA cabinets that make a 4RU size ( 7" 
opening ) cabinet with a 20.47" depth. I did write to the Hammond Co. and 
received a nice note back from their webmaster Ray W2XC. He said that Hammond knows 
there is a need for a tabletop cabinet with 5 1/4" opening and at least a 20" 
depth to fit various rack-mount equipment like our premium receivers and also 
servers. He said that Hammond is working on just such a project right now and 
they should have a deeper version of their RCBS light-duty cabinets available 
in about 6-9 months. One thing I really like about the Hammond cabinets is 
there is enough room ( about 1" ) in the underside to mount some thin cooling 
fans if air-cooling is needed. That would be ideal for the Collins HF-2050 that 
really needs air-cooling due to their hot-running nature. So if we can wait 
6-9 months, Hammond should have some really nice table-top cabinets that will 
fit most of our premium receivers. 73 Todd Roberts WD4NGG.
