Chassis Maker Recommendations

[ViperDoc]

Who do you like currently for custom aluminum chassis fabricators? My normal source is non-responsive (Synaptic), hope they're OK. Juicy went out of business a couple years ago. There's Seaside in Canada. Any others you like? I need non-standard sizes.

Oh damn, yeah I really got great product from Synaptic, maybe just the holidays overwhelming them with stuff and will be back soon?

Nothing but crickets.

Meanwhile I got a quote back from a metal fabricator that was recommended on EL34world. A single 20 x 8-inch 2.5mm aluminum blank box came in at a paltry $298, no chrome, no holes, no reach-around, no wave and a smile, no after dinner mint, no "would you like dessert?" and "when can I call you next? Hey where you goin?..."

I could buy that guy's metal brake for that. Is this really so hard to find at a reasonable price for this application? Wow.

There is a guy on reverb who will cut the transformer and IEC only for around $100 I think. Something like that.

So if I'm thinking of the guy you're thinking of, I had him build me a chassis just a handful of months back. It was SPLENDID. He had a 3-inch wall height limit, and I need a 4-inch wall height for a dual row control design that I'm cooking up. I asked but haven't seen as much as a pigeon. Maybe I'll just buy one and use my powers of persuasion....?

Ordered.

I think that's exactly who we're talking about... synaptic amps. He's done a lot for me too in the past, but I too messaged him on reverb and also have heard nothing? I sent that on the 10th, it's been 6 days... nada.

Oh!

Umm..I predict many JTM45 format amplifiers in the future,

I use Seaside and Synaptic, both of whom do custom sizes. Synaptic seems to be a bit slow on comms at time, but does good work.

[ViperDoc]

I fired a couple more shots across the bow, no response. No trash, just beware--I have no idea if Steve is still in business. Hope so. He did good work.

How are you trying to contact him? Through Reverb or something or direct emailing?

Direct email, Reverb messaging, texting him on his cell phone, AND Facebook. I'm almost stalking at this point, so I hope to hear back from him.

Seaside does custom sizes. Any reason you aren't using them?

Never used them. Is there a problem with their website? My browser bounces it. Would love to contact them for a chat. Anyone know their email?

I have seasidemusic@eastlink.ca but that’s from nearly a decade back so might be past its “best-by” ..

Excellent, thank you.
