Case and Amp hardware

Post by RodC » Wed Feb 12, 2020 1:53 pm

Hi,
I'm nearing the completion of an arch-top build and I plan to make a (timber) case for it.
This is not going to be a travel case. It will live at home and be visible in my lounge room, so I want it to look nice.
I have also made a 18W TMB amp to go with it. I am finishing off the cabinetry and am looking for some great handles to go with the figured blackwood.

Does anyone know where I can get some good quality handles, latches and hinges?

I've had a google around the internet and found some stuff, but nothing that grabs me and says "use this".

Cheers,
Rod (not Rocket) :-)

Hi RodC,
Try having a good lookaround on https://www.evatco.com.au/
I have bought case and amp hardware from there before and found them rather good.
Thanks,
GregL.

Thanks Greg,
Evatco is one of the places I have tried (i got my amp part through them).

They don't stock hinges and latches though.

If I can't find something I like in the way of a latch, I may have to see what I can make.

Cheers,

Rod

Thanks Mark,

I've gone with these dominobrass.com.au in brass, but I will keep goods and chattels in mind for next time.
