Mechanical Preparation

Here is the latest version of the Kit1 300B Single Ended Chassis – It is made of 3mm
aluminum which has been powder coated black – the chassis is ultra sturdy and
aluminum is an ideal material for audio – If you ever need to drill the chassis – its easy
to drill through!

Here you can see the underside of the chassis – and this is the position you will be
working on the kit most of the time!
