[Premium-Rx] Racks

[Bjarne Mjelde]

If you want state-of-the-art radio cabinets, there are few if any  
alternatives to the German Schroff cabinets.  I was lucky enough to find a  
suite of NIB Schroffs extremely cheap on German ebay a few months ago,  
including two 500mm deep cabinets, one 6U and one 3U.  If you want to see  
how my RA6790/GM looks in a 3U, 500mm cabinet, look at the front page of  
the Racal6790GM reflector on Yahoogroups.com  
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Racal6790GM)

Schroff cabinets are available in many depth sizes.  See www.schroff.de  
for details.  I am sure they have North American distributors as well -  
however these beauties come at a price.
