Looking for plans for Crown DC300a cabinet

By any chance, do any of you have the plans for the wooden cabinets that
were sold by Crown Audio for either their DC300a amplifier or their IC
150a pre-amplifier ??

I just bought them without the cabinets and I'd love to be able to make
a set for them.

Thanks in advance,
Matt

I was hoping to recreate from original design.
You are right about their simplicity, but it's been awhile since I saw the
enclosures, and I can't remember how they positioned the rack mount metal in
them. I believe it was a 19" rack with 1" spacing of the holes.

Does anyone have one of these old cabinets that they would take a few pictures
and measurements of?

Are you trying to match what used to be available, or couldn't you scribble
up a pair of them from scratch?

As I recall (it's been 25 years or more), these weren't particularly
intricate designs. There was a grate or screening to allow for the
considerable thermal venting required....

The 'cool setup' then was a 19" rack, enclosed in a fancy cabinet, with
whisper fans. Or a roadie's rack in an Anvil case...

I religiously wear hearing protection NOW. In the '70's, in the audio
business, not so much so.
