This is what we started with. A Bosch
case out of a BMW.
|
 |
Here the two original PCBs
are split open. All through hole
technology here. A very labor
intensive design with all the hand
padded resistor stacks.
|
 |
This is what it looks like with
the PCB boards removed. You
can see the convent .5" hole in the
side of the case where the barro sensor
hose bib will stick out.
|
|
Here I have marked where to take
off the old features that used to mount
the TO3 transistors. Left enough behind
so that the bosses that will hold the new
PCB still have some meat around them.
|
|
Right side rough cut off the mill.
Cleared the extra material around the
barro hole also. |
 |
Removed the extra material from
the outside of the case also around
the hole. This hole originally mounted
a large press-in diode. |
 |
The other side of the case. All
the extra flashing I will remove with
a fine 3M disk to give the TO-220
driver transistors a good flat mounting
surface. The vertical step in the thickness
of the wall I will have to work around
in the layout. |

What it looks like after the
mill work. |
