I have been looking for some sort of case ,the boards wiring are a little annoying laying about ..
Something for this size of project not easy to buy a case for well not locally perhaps on ebay but thought i would go with the Repurposing and went scrounging for some thing cheap at our Sydney road recycling shop .
Problem with cases for a CRT is most cases are to flat so have the Length, Width for the boards but not wanted height...here i found something that's more than big enough and didn't have to even cut a hole for the crt ,its a little beat up with the odd scratch but for 15 bucks with another little portable 12v b/w tv thrown in something i can live with .
CRT fits nice where the cassette tape mechanism went i might of got away with a flatter case but i was more thinking what would fit for sure .
The open slot where the play record rewind fast forward buttons were i will put a panel ,the old panel switches positions where they are now i will repurpose for the monitor also might even be my first monitor with sound with all this Spacious case room !
