I need to get a handle on things

[N8YX]

Specifically, some of my rack-mount gear has oval aluminum handles which must be replaced due to wear and damage. A pic of what I need is shown below; I bought the last four which Surplus Sales had but need a few more pairs. They're 4.5" c-c and 1.5"h; a P/N of "SRS MP0011" was found but is coming up blank in searches.

Anyone know where to get these?

I got a couple of love handles, but don't think I can mail them.

Perhaps?

Surplus Sales still has the items for sale, is there some reason you don't want to buy from them again?

This is a long shot, but Stanford Research Systems equipment had rack mount kits which consisted of "ears" which attached to the sides of the case and then black anodized handles would bolt to the ears. The part number may be for the handle only, not the whole kit, which is why it won't show up in catalogs.

They still exist, and a phone call may be the fastest way to get an answer. In my experience, SRS folks were very friendly, but I doubt they'll sell you replacements for as little as Surplus Sales would, but you never know.

Good luck and 73,

I bought S-S out! Ordered 6 - they called and told me there were only 4 in stock. So the units on-hand are in transit. Need a few more sets to finish up some restorations I'm doing.

So that's what the SRS stands for. Excellent...and thanks!
