Sansui UA-555a - Metal Bottom cover

Hi - I have a UA-555a that I love but it's missing the bottom metal housing, and I'm having trouble finding something that fits. Anyone possibly have a lead on where I might find one?
Also if anyone knows this amp I'd love to see a Transistors replacement list, Cap list is easy to find, and I've done most all those but would love to hear what TRs end up sounding the best in the unit.
Thanks!
Chris

I'm not sure what the consensus was for the preamp transistors, but the above list takes care of the "flying saucer" units....
 
If you cant find something - theres a high probability of this - then you will probably need to investigate getting one made from sheet metal. This probably wont cost much. You could also investigate doing it yourself from some think board. You

You would need to ensure that it has holes in it however to ensure that the cool air travels vertically up thru the amp, to ensure heat dissapation.
