It is Stu-Daddy, his e-mail address is on one ad.

IMO 2mm aluminum on the two D-chassis is too thin to stand up to professional use. That is only 5/64", 0.079". Dumble use 1/8", 0.125". Big difference. They look like surplus "Made in Malaysia" stuff with that silk screening.

The steel Marshall chassis look good though.

Yeah but good source of different types of chassis he is offering, I could use some Marshall chassis like that with face plates.

Yeah, the D chassis(s) are the exact same thin ones that we have seen before. The Marshall is a good deal, I had a line on a steel 50W chassis that was about the same price without the plates. Yep, it's Stu, I got a 18W head chassis set from him recently.

That D-style chassis is def from the guy in Thailand. It is quite sturdy, but a lot of the holes are in awkward locations, and/or the wrong size. It has a nice anodized finish, though.

I'd seriously consider it at $100. I paid the $167 for mine. Came all the way from Thailand in a carboard box tied with white cotton string, with a little tag hanging off it. Like a package from 1900.
