Daddy Dee Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I've got a walnut case for a Fisher receiver, it's in good shape, but no longer has the vent screen piece that goes in the top rear of the case. I've looked at Lowes, but didn't find anything that looked satisfactory to cut and fit in the case. There was some aluminum sheet material with patterns cut in it, but it's just silver aluminum color and doesn't look right. Any recommendations for materials and sellers? Thanks.

Mark Hardy Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Not sure... but it might be worth perusing the website and/or catalog of Small Parts, Inc. http://www.smallparts.com/ They have a lot of very cool... umm... small parts :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codhead Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Try these guys. All kinds of material in small quantity. Works best if you have high speed, and can download the catalog as a .PDF file. Apparently it's another name for the same place Mark suggested. Anyway, I know they've got screen in a variety of materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 Mark and codhead, Thanks for the tip. Got the material in today. These folks shipped the same day I ordered.... a really nice outfit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mobley Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 What does it look like? is it gold colored with round holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 Tom, Here's the location: http://www.smallparts.com/products/descriptions/pma.cfm I've ordered the one with 3/16th perforation which is 50% open and 20ga thick. It just the aluminum color. Gold tone is not mentioned on the web page, and I didn't ask, but perhaps is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mobley Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 thanks for the info DaddyDee. I looked for that stuff on that site awhile back but somehow didn't find it. Must be getting old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 I just came across this link on the lansing heritage forums. GREAT perforated metal. I haven't searched enough to find out about small orders yet, but a lot of nice stuff. perforated screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted July 1, 2005 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 Marvel, Great link. Those folks will cut to size and have a catalog to send out, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
