radio stand

ok as some of you know im going to be running a president mc kinley as a home base set up with a silver rod and a skytronic regulated power supply, so would anyone know where im likely to obtain a radio stand with something like a 45 degree angle so i can look at the led read out when it's on my table, thanks

Hi Lionel,


There's a multitude of ways available to install radio systems from basic brackets to full blown encased desk solutions, radio boxes or even a simple riser shelf. The choice will be uniquely yours depending on your needs and budget.

Worth taking a look at other peoples setups, radio suppliers bracket systems or if you possess the skills and materials even building your own solutions.

Just remember to check on the dimensions of your radio especially the width for the bracket or mounting size you require.

Other suggestion are bound to come in thick and fast, probably for one particular 'product' but the choice is ultimately yours to make.


Have fun and when you find your solution why not post a picture up to proudly show off your new home base setup.  

All the best,
Victor

One good idea I noticed from Ken in his den was sticky rubber feet under a rig.
Especially handy for base mounted speakers although not the case here.
Excuse the pun

Maybe longer feet on the front to angle it.

Thanks Victor and Sharpshooter it is certainly worth a coat of looking at as they say 

Just a thought.
Couple of years back i bought some Aluminium checker plate offcuts of the bay think i bought 1.5kg for around £10 to make some covers on our decking where we did have lights sunk in at one time.
Well i am still finding uses for this stuff and have made one or two stands with the leftovers.
Easy to bend and work with cut drill fold whatever worth a look.

i will have a look Alan thanks  

Can't find the advert i bought from but it was a good while back now.
There are still some selling this is just one like the advert i bought from but still look around.

Ebay Link - Click Here

Alan, still with the loooooong sellers hyperlinks?

If you'd like me to fix it I'll be happy to do so but always worth adding in a shorter text on the hyperlink 'description'.
(Saves the shock of the miniscule text and thinking I've gone blind.  )

Whatever Victor.
Never good with that sort of stuff but will look into how.
But yes you do it this time please.

Alan mate, just trying to help out. Much neater and makes the post more easily readable now.

If you use the 'Insert Link' button when posting you can enter a small description in the second box but still copy and paste to the actual link into the first box.

Hope that helps.


("Whatever" - sounded like my eldest granddaughter talking disapprovingly to her Mother! )

nice one Victor 

Thank's for that one Victor.
Nothing meant by the "whatever" don't even know why i put that.
Not been well for the last 10 days so i will use that as the excuse.

No worries Alan my friend.  

(Just felt out of place with a 'whatever' from our generation mate.  )


Sorry to hear you haven't been well and hope you make a speedy recovery.

All my best to you and yours,
Victor

Thanks Victor.
Hate being ill bad enough being disabled as it is.
No patience for anything and my get up and got up and went long ago lol.

Lol, a typical example of how expressionless text can be interpreted in the wrong manner through lack of tone and emotion.
And whatever (else)


Sorry, couldn't  resist

I just 3D print mine.

Will have to look into the 3d printers again.
Did look some time back but couldn't get my head round them.
