Storage cases

I got this aluminium case from Radio parts. The foam is already pre-cut into squares and you just tear bits out where you want to make a hole, brilliant !

nice looking case geoff, that's the sort I wanted but could not find here in Kal: the briefcase is quite sturdy and about the right size tho.

Where did you get the foam from Geoff?

The wife said she would give me her shiny metal Make-up case but I said No Thanks as the floral interior and insert wasn't my style.....lol....

Love that foam that is sliced already...and pull out when needed....have to look for some of that...thanks.

wow!!!...those cases are just wonderful!!!....Ill probably get another piece of foam and cut mine out better this time ...although the 2 eyepieces I have look just fine in the case and they sit in the foam firmly. Thanks for the tips!!!......you guys are great at what you do and Im more than willing to watch and learn from you all !!!!!

Time to ring Bintel.....

I am checking out a scope case this week.....I dont feal comfortable paying over $300 for the material case that you use your packaged foam with when you can get something like your's Aragorn for under $500......

I made some Phone calls to a case maker who quoted me over the phone around $400 including the moulded foam...with a few extras like wheel and triming would probably cost about the same as your Aragorn....the price for the Meade material case is like $325 for the 10"......extra $100 - $150 you get a great aluminium case......well worth it.

I will let you know how I go.
