NOSValves Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Yup Alan makes the best after market cases for vintage amps available. They ventilate well and make access to the amplifier a simple task without having to remove the amp from your system. The factory case never ventilated all that well and after all these years fall apart very easily. They are a real pita to get on and off the amp if you need to get to the tubes or do some cleaning.

paul cbc Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 arfz28, Do you make a case for a Fisher X-100(a)? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfz28 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Paul yes I did build a fisher cabinet months ago and am kinda stuck on trying too find a bottom cover for my fisher X-100. Dang thing never came with one when I got it. Anyway, made my own bottom cover to get by and built a prototype cabinet for it. Here is a picture of it. If I could get a bottom cover measurement from you it would help me a bunch on knowing if my cabinet will work or not I am almost 99.9%n sure it will but wont sell a cabinet untill I know for sure.

Craig ******************************************************************************************************************************************* I've got 4 original Scott cabinets and they're all as tight as the day they were built. Once you get through tube rolling there's really no need to get inside the cabinet, although I can change tubes and adjust bias ( when it worked) on my 222-C without removing the cabinet.

DoubleJ Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 Thank You Everyone for your help and input regarding my search for a Scott Case. I'm in contact with Alan and I'm sure that he will have the right case for my amp. Thanks Again Everyone!!! JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul cbc Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Alan, I come up with 14.5" total: 14.25" from side to side Allow 1/8" for each side screw Let me know if you need any other measurements. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfz28 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Thanks a million Paul for the measurement, looks like my cabinet will clear the bottom cover screws. Maybe one of these days I will get lucky and find a bottom cover for my X-100 and a good looking faceplate. If not I just might get a whole different unit and sell this one. Wish I would have bought that KX-100 that was on Craigs websight a while back for 400 bucks that was a buy. The price of these tube amps are going up all the time, I paid 175 for this ugly one and it needs a total rebuild it has a hum out of both channels but what the heck at least it does work.

paul cbc Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Alan, You bet. I never really "got" the EL 84 sound till I heard the Fisher. You're right-the one on Craig's site was a good deal. If you need some more measurements, or would like me to send my bottom cover out for you to have one cut, just let me know. Regarding cases, what's the best way to contact you? I'm not sure the PM system here works. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleJ Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 Just received my Walnut case, from Alan, and what a fine piece of craftsmanship as well as a very fine looking case. If you are in the market for a case, Alan is "THE MAN" to talk to. The one I purchased is probably the one Alan posted a picture of earlier in this thread. It looks excellent in the picture, but even more impressive in person. Thanks again, Alan!!! JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
