Need enclosure/box for amp footswitch rebuild/rehousing...

Post by robnobcorncob »

Can anyone help? I've got two 5150 footswitches that I'm rehousing (yes, the notoriously crap 5150 footswitch, i'm so sick of it crapping out) I'm going to make it a two button like the original and use the same LED colours however instead of an attached cable I'll be using a stereo instrument cable and stereo 1/4" switchcraft jack so the cable can be disconnected when needed.

So that's that, anyone got any enclosures? Dick Smith have generic aluminium things but I'd much rather use a Hammond box but I can't seem to find them anywhere but Jaycar which is not at all local. Any help/Info is much appreciated, thanks guys.

These folk are Hammond distributors and will do mail order, I got my Hammond output transformer from them. They may not have obscure items in stock but can bring them in with their next combined shipment from Hammond. Drop them an email, I found them very good to deal with.
