cases for Pioneers Message #1 Posted by Bo Kristoffersen on 30 Nov 2000, 12:35 p.m. I recently bought a 14B and a 32B, both from 1988. Surprisingly (to me), they both have very cheap plastic slip cases, heat welded along the periphery with a fake stitched seam. My question is: for how long were these cases used before being replaced with the much nicer padded and stitched type used until today. I don't think it was for very long as my 14B Anniversary from 1989 has the second-version case.

Re: cases for Pioneers Message #2 Posted by Paul Brogger on 1 Dec 2000, 12:04 p.m., in response to message #1 by Bo Kristoffersen My experience and assumption have been: the cheapest, thinnest vinyl cases were provided with the lowest-end Pioneers, and the thicker, padded, stitched version was provided with the more expensive models. I don't think I've yet seen one with a "fake stitched seam", however. Maybe there are more types of cases (and more variation in their bundling) than my experience indicates.
