Re: [Amateur-repairs] Old test eqpt? Chuck it? Refurbish it?

New cabinets sure are expensive compared to years ago.  Then the shipping is vey expensive.  I have picked up several computer cable switch boxes and built the Arduino projects in them.  Always on the lookout at hamfests for boxes to repurpose for home brew.

I have a lot of old consumer type test gear such as EICO, Heathkit, RCA, PACO,  etc.
 
One use for old test gear that is no longer usable / repairable is to use the cabinet for a home brew project.
New cabinets and even chassis are way out of sight price wise.
 
Just my 2 cents worth.
