I used this case for the TU1-EMP V2 6922+12AT7 pcb board this was supposed to fit. This case is excellent, fits together nicely, all the components work, the case cutouts are great. Except one major flaw - the cutout for the volume knob and the headphone jack are too high on the front plate. This means that mounting this pcb board in the holes makes the 2 large caps in the back of the pcb board stick up about 2mm higher then the case cover. It's a big problem. The front plate holes should have been cut out about 5mm lower on the front of the case. I had to use PCB standoffs to carefully bend the back of the pcb board down unnaturally about 15 degrees to get about 1mm of clearance for the caps. As a side note- when you put this PCb board in this case. you have about 80mm+/- of space behind the board to mount a power supply. Remember- it only needs to ba a tiny 30 watts. Would be a 10 of a product if the holes were cut out just a little lower.

External dimensions: 220mm*52mm*191mm (W*D*H)

Internal dimensions: 200mm*48mm*182mm (W*D*H)

Weight: About 1.5kg

NOTE: This case is a universal type for TU1-EMP and TU-2. Because TU1-EMP and TU-2 have different PCB screw holes, there is no hole on the bottom of the case.

The method of drilling the bottom plate: Use the potentiometer to fix the position of the hole, and then draw the position of the screw hole. This is a very simple matter.
