SPECIAL NOTES:
The photographs show the exact sub-frame I am offering, fully assembled.
If picking up then it will be supplied in this form but if being shipped, it will be "broken down" and each component separately sealed in plastic, like a kitset! This keeps shipping costs to a minimum as cubic weight is used for shipping not just physical weight.
Manufacturer is unknown but I strongly suspect this frame is Australian made (at least part of anyway) because under contract provisions it was often required to achieve as high an Australian content in product supplied as possible.
I can certainly not find any markings indicating this may be Verotec or Schroff - the only component markings I can find are the two rear support rails which are 12701 & 13018
All assembly uses screws EXCEPT the side panels which are actually two sections, rivoted together.
All screws are Philips head, no special hex tool required!
This is a high quality, precision sub-frame - a little like playing with Meccano (if anyone remembers that product) providing an extremely flexible support frame for your special custom designed and made cards.
I also have other bits and pieces for the cards such as front panels, pull handles, locking screws etc - please search my website for these.
