This has been a public service announcement...
Lol, it's going to take a lot of work to get it where it needs to be.
I would love to buy that amp case you can keep all that other junk i been trying to find someone to build me a case like that
 
Resurrecting old thread - I wonder if this is same builder?

*update decided not to pursue it lady said when asked the wattage and how many pills - it has one big pill and does 65 watts. Ermmmm firstly I've not heard of a "big" pill and 65 watts isn't really that large. I must be missing something. There was a Texas ranger 10m radio similar to a connex 3300 from bout 10 years ago w ssb, a decent triple meter and small power supply but I only wanted the package to flip the amp and radio and power supply keep the meter. But no ones gonna want a 65 watt 1 pill base amp almost the size of my 4 pill base box in the day and age of cheap kl203s. Plus I still have no idea what a "big" single pill is.

Years ago when radio's were mostly lower powered amp builders like X-Force, Magna Force, Davemade, Fatboy and so on all would build a 1 pill driver amp. Usually either a 2290 or 2879. Now there are so many powerful radios to choose from you don't need a driver amp.

I used to run a Uniden 122xl into a class B Magna Force 100 (single 2290 final). It was an easy setup to install and would bump my power from like 12-14 watts to right at 80.

I had a pc122 and sold it. Regretted that for a long time. Those are sweet SSB rigs.
