aluminum plates and profiles

[Dave Halliday]

One thought - I used to live in the Boston area about 20 years ago and
there was an absolute hotbed of electronics surplus stores.  I know that
some have closed ( John Meshna and Sons, Delta, PolyPaks - sniff! ) but
some are still very much in business.  B&F Enterprises, Eli Hefron's
which is going under the E.L.I. name.  You might try visiting them and
seeing if they have anything available.  You might also be able to find
some used panels - they will have holes in them but you could figure
out some way to plug them - an extra patch point maybe???  Hmmm???
