[R-390] Another satisfied Ebayer? (sp corrected)

[w9ya at arrl.net]

It's not a good idea to put cardboard in a rack around stuff that from
time to time lets smoke out. (Been there, seen the results, and it is not
pretty.)

i.e. Me too: I'm with the wacko.

Or put another way, a drilled, painted and stenciled panel with some
speakers for $ 325 is a very highly priced item. IF you feel it is worth
the money; f.b. If the paint is runny, as the buyer claims, all the more
so.

Me, I would rather pay much less for such things. Rack panels are
essentially free in most populated areas if you know where to go. Drilling
and painting should not cost much at all. Speakers are also very
inexpensive; again if you know where to go. About the only real
time/expensive item is the labeling.

No hard feelings, just a friendly opinion.
