Colin Heath Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I have been recently thinking about buying a pelican case for my gear. But i was walking through a antique store the other day and i stumbled over this case. I instantly fell in love with it, and then with looking at it i decided that it would be perfect to use to hold my equipment. It folds open as you can see in the images i attached and has a spot where i put some foam to hold my wireless. I made some quick dividers for the one side and added some extra foam for padding in some spots. I may change it but this works for now. As a plus, inside of the case when i bought it, was filled with boxed vacuum tubes, all sizes. Which was pretty cool. This case may not be perfect but, it has a ton of character.

Jeff Wexler Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Character it has, absolutely. Ability to withstand any kind of shipping, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Toline Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I've seen a case exactly like that a looooong time ago. It was a radio & tv repairmans tube & tool case when everything had tubes. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Heath Posted August 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I don't see me shipping my gear anytime soon, but if i should i know a guy who can get me a pelican at a good price. It can hold all of my gear, and is the same size as the big pelican i would have to get for it. Its not to heavy. Plus I got this case for a huge discount. Its just something fun and different that i thought i would share. Thanks for all the comments on it. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Toline Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Don't know what you paid for the case but I bet you could easily cover your cost and perhaps then some by selling the tubes on Ebay. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Rose Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I'm sorry, we can't record that dialog here. We'll have to pull the chassis and take it back to the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 What my CPF Eric said!! the real value is in those tubes, and the case is a free bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomboom Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 You bet ! Dress a list with model numbers and there you go ! You got original, genuine tubes and you don't mess with a guy who's got real tubes nowadays... (I heard only the Russians make good ones now, apart from genuine stuff if you can find some).

Heh. I asked that at first, then noticed it was ten years old and edited my post. But if so - can me and Derek H split em? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
