#1 Some tasty DIY stuff here

Post by Toppsy »

This looks an interesting site.

Some nice DIY ali chassis. They appear to be from the same factory to the one I'm using for my preamp.

I quite fancy some these tube frames for my 6em7 amp build.

What sized ones would I need for a GZ37 rectifier?

Edit These too I particularly like:

I ordered some tube protectors form these last week. I got an email from them Friday morning 28th March to say the goods had been shipped.

They arrived at work Monday morning 31st March :shock:

No VAT, No Customs charge and most Important No Royal Mail charges.

Now that's what I call service. :lol:

I've used these peeps too and found them helpful, efficient and fast.

Were your bits shipped by DHL or another courier?

I find that if things come through Royal Mail I don't get hit for customs / VAT ....................................................................nearly always.

I think it was EMS, but delivered this end by Royal Mail with the general post.

Given that this isn't a selling or buying thing, what do folks think about creating a "Suppliers, reccomended or not" section?

Good idea, it'd be handy if we had somewhere to post to lety other users know when a supplier is doing a 10% off day or 'last column' offer like they do at Rapid.
