John W.	Matchless DC-30 Chassis Quick question: Does anyone know if anyone makes a copy of the DC-30 chassis? If not, has anyone seen a diagram for one? Thanks! -John

nic	Have you seen this photo? http://www.acplink.com/images/match_DC30.jpg Not sure how much it helps, but if you know what everything is, then maybe it could give you a rough idea of the layout. Let me know if you come across anything a little more accurate.

You might be able to get by using a WeberVST AC-30 chassis. It might not be the perfect match but it ought to be close in terms of tube complement and control count.

As for an exact Matchless chassis I think you'll be hard pressed to find a commercially made one since they use a rather weird (not necessarily bad) component layout to facilitate the PTP wiring; I doubt many commercial manufacturers would sell a lot of these types of chassis. If you really want to follow the exact Matchless method you're probably going to need to just buy a blank Hammond box and make your own.
