Does anyone have a link to a source for the Rangemaster style of enclosure?    I mean the kind that have a front and back panel attached to the bottom and a U shaped hood that goes down over that.   More designed for amp top use than for stomping generally.  I'm in the USA.

There are sure to be others, but I've used these guys with success. About halfway down are some that seem like what you're talking about.  I've used them for tube preamps and so on.

There's also these Teko boxes from Banzai

They have them in four different sizes.

I have never tried them. My normal go-to box is this one:

Thanks for the suggestions!   I've never ordered from Jameco.   I'll give them a try I think.

I think they've been around for ages (USA).  These are sheet metal enclosures, not super heavy duty, but for many applications they do well. They're cheap enough that it's not a huge investment to try one.   I wouldn't use them as a chassis for a tube amp (!), the transformer weight would be a bit much, but for preamps without iron (switching supply for ex) they are great!   And for a rangemaster :)  They're about as sturdy as the stock enclosure.
