Caiman and TC-7520 case project

Would it be relatively easy to swap the cases over? Would (could) it include an improved knob? (Oohh err missus!) Sounds interesting. :)

The knob is standard fit, Alex. You could fit many different types to the Caiman.

The case company doesn't make knobs.
As for swapping over the PCB: as I mentioned they would make a carrier plate for the case, and the two boards would be screwed onto the plate and slid inside the case.

Once we have a majority agreement on the case colour and the option of a black or brushed aluminium front panel, I can try to get samples of the case made.

Is that a good idea?

I'd say so!
Black front/silver sides would suit me! :)

Black or silver chassis would suite me but I'd prefer a brushed silver front. So perhaps just make the chassis in whatever the most popular colour is and then offer the choice of black or silver front. :)

A sturdy case would be nice... and the other two boxes are black so....

Thought of giving it a go myself but the without access to prober tools the punching of back and front is the challenge... well the holes would be there but the alignment could be so so :doh:

Silver for me. :)

A Black case for me.

Maybe you could change the RCA socktes to a real 75 Ohms like Canare or Neutrik RCA.

How is this project coming along, Stan?

Not very well I am afraid. The cost is getting far higher than expected.
