Ps. Its not a flashy item, but does the trick and doubles as a table when I am setup. While the box is a little bulky, I now just have my chair, base and box which reduces he trips back and forth to the car which is nice, and I
tend not to forget things as I used to do when I had heaps of separate items.
Pps. Have you tried astronomy-electronics-centre, they might be able to source a suitable case for you. They will handle postage/insurance etc at least.

No worries Steve
. Its a good idea and been scratching my head as tried a couple of places. Also thought of a flight case or even if a box that is big enough with pick and pluck foam. I can try to email Claude at AEC and see although i have asked some other companies and waiting for the response.
Meanwhile if something pops up like what you have i will see if it fits and work from there.
Cheers matt
