The most useless heatsink in Amplifier History?

[SoulFetish]

The appendix of heat sinks? What? Mesa, why?

Ummm... because Boogie?

That's the Wrist Slash-o-Matic that engages when you go to flip the Class switch! High end, for sure.

I guess that corner of the chassis soaks up a lot of heat from the power section so the heat sink is there to help keep the temp down. I won't deny that it is a slash hazard!

Should be a 3 way toggle. Class A, Simulclass, No class.

Where can I find some of those heat sinks?

Almost nothing about Mesa construction makes any sense to me.

I've always wondered why they put that on the back of the panel? Just thought it looked good? Chassis got too hot?

Bizarre layout and assembly methods. Just craziness for the most part.

Yeah, Mouser too.

Also, Amazon, eBay if you have any idea what size you need. Sometimes you'll find exactly the right thing or close enough for cheap.

Oh I've search so many times but Nada.

I did order some I am going mill down to what I want.

I have a bunch of small and longer blank Boogie chassis I want to build something Mesa style with lots of orange drops.
