Grey Carrying Case, Classic Calcs - aj04062 - 03-26-2010

Anyone seem a source for these other than trolling on eBay?

I don't know how often, if ever, they come up on eBay, but it's easy to set up a search that automatically sends you an email when one appears.

I'm now kicking myself for throwing mine out a few years back. I use my 45 so much I never used the hard case.

Some big junque stores and seasonal rummage sales have a shelf or box of those plastic cases that cordless tools etc. come in. I was looking at used tools once and found an empty classic series plastic case for 50 cents. It's a great home for the 67 that John Lopez gave me after he retired. Because of the low probability of finding one; it's not worth a special trip but if you're there anyway...


On a similar note, is there a good way of reinforcing the plastic hinges? >> - tim m. - 03-28-2010

The one for my '35 has some ominous cracks in it.

My Thread about this topic got no answers, so I'll carefully watch this space :-).

:)

I imagine the solution would involve bonding a thin sheet to the inside of the hinge, but have little thought beyond that.
