Peter designed and built a replacement for my rough heated eyepiece box, and it is a beauty. Matches the telescope in every way - varnished wood finish; the hinges. I love it. It sits on two stainless steel risers, one of which carries the power to the box. Peter installed a heater controller I built. The heating is provided by a 10" dewnot strap which lies on the floor of the box. I provided some additional outlets - one of full 12V and one controlled. I have built a little cluster of red LEDs on an RCA plug which can run off either (full 12 Volt or controlled) to provide some low intensity lighting inside the box. You can see it in one photo. Haven't yet tried at night to see if it is dull enough. Pictures show a full load on board.

Edit - forgot to mention that Peter came up with a very clever mount/dismount arrangement that is so simple and effective to use.
