I just 3D printed the frame, bought some bits for the leads and the AC bracket (connectors, AC socket, switches...).

The speaker is from Centuriontech and the PSU used is a Meanwell RPT-6003 (while the original one is a Traco Power TOP 60316).

Where did you find the STL files? Or did you design those yourself?

Thanks!!

@HigashiJun - thanks for posting! I'm thinking of doing the same thing myself, but:

- Which power switch did you use?

- How is the momentary push-to-start handled?

Much appreciated.

I don' remember what power switch I bought, but I got it here in Japan.

There is no momentary switch to start the CT60, only a simple rocker switch.

Check the picture here:

And the idea was based on this:

Thanks so much! Two things:

- Do you have the wiring diagram for those cables?

- How does the power supply start? Do you ignore shorting out first two pins and just turn on the PSU?

No diagram needed for this straightforward wiring.

The PSU is wired the same way as the original one, so when you turn it on with the switch, it powers on.

There is no need to connect it to the first two pins on the CT63.

Only the two second pins have to be connected to the toggle switch in order to turn on/off the CT63.
