Going to look if its possible to modify my F1X & F2B to do this, a rainy day project though. jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3527 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Monday, July 15, 2013 - 4:00 am:    I'm pretty confident that they would do it if that is what a customer wanted.

I seem to recall something like this done in the past. pace Senior Member Username: pace Post Number: 938 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Thursday, July 18, 2013 - 1:02 pm:    I think one of our club members used the extra space in a DS-5R to house a power supply for his SF-2..... thus eliminating the problems associated with the wall wart. One other design mod that would be helpful is parallel input jacks on the REAR of the F1-X and F2-B models. bigredbass Senior Member Username: bigredbass Post Number: 2008 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Friday, July 19, 2013 - 12:30 am:    My two cents would be to take the F1x, drop the crossover, and put the guts of the floor mount Series power supply on that side. Tube tone + power and mono or stereo breakout. Done.
