Hi!
Anyone who knows where I could buy a vintage style handle for PSU enclosure etc? Like the ones in the picture. They  are  on pretty much any old gear like guitar amp heads or cabinets and more so should be some firm out there that still make em.

Seem to find some that fit the build used in the states so might buy one for this build.

But thinking of start making some vintage looking PSU enclosures in the future for the community. Miniature version of old German PSU lookalikes.

Know that dandeurloo sell some good looking ones but with all the shipping cost and import charges they end up quite expensive for European buyers.

So this first one is also some what a prototype even though its more of a pimped out Alctron PSU case for the Fame VT12 Im using as the donar for my M251 build.  Will do a "build" thread when I'm done with it but still missing a vintage looking handle since I dont like the look on the Alctron handle.

But the Alctron "vintage" case is a really simple two metal piece design so might do some recreations of it in my old man's metal workshop later this fall. In the future I would like to make a four piece design to get a square edge "frame" like the old german ones as well.

..and it's one of the only places in Europe that will sell you high-quality, slotted-head, black machine screws. Left-overs from the "Olympia" typewriter factory - made at a time where this sort of mechanical quality really mattered...

Black machine screws always are the cheapest zinc plated tool steel IME. Are these stainless steel?
