Hi,

Thanks guys. Tracked one down at Sydney Carlingford - two left! Fits the NEQ6 perfectly. Apparently they were a special order so not all stores got them.

Cheers

Guys I went to my local bunnings here in Perth and there were none on the shelf. After walking up and down a few isles I spotted them sitting on a crate at the top of one of the shelves. The bunnings folk wont get them down during the day but will over night if you request it. I bought two one for each of my vixen SXD mounts which fit perfectly including all counter weights, controller and cables. The only thing is the supplied foam is a little too soft for my purpose (fine for camera's, Ep's etc) so I will be replacing it with a heavier density foam very soon.

Mark

Yup, I searched up and down the isles at Claremont Bunnings for them, and almost giving up and about to ask someone, spotted them on a small shelf near the counters. Picked up two of them.

I have two of the yellow cases; they are strong and fine for eyepieces.Plenty of room for 8-10 or moe eyepieces depdending on the size of EP.
Stacked on top of each other they are strong enough as a seat

I've got a load of these type of cases heading my way right now. Varying sizes. Will have them for sale when they arrive. If anyone here is still wants one I'll let you know when they arrive.

Nice, this will come in handy for a few bits and pieces.
Using my team discount card should see this baby drop down a bit

The smaller yellow Kinchrome case is a real beauty for E.P.'s diagonals etc.

Very well made.............and............... .being yellow, it's more visible at night.

Good thing is the G11 Head fits pretty well in this case
No need to fork out for a Pelican Storm. $65 case woohoo
The azimuth knob sits out; but rests against the padding; and the lid closes with just enough pressure to keep everything tight.
