Grey Carrying Case, Classic Calcs Message #1 Posted by aj04062 on 26 Mar 2010, 8:26 p.m. Anyone seem a source for these other than trolling on eBay?

Re: Grey Carrying Case, Classic Calcs Message #2 Posted by Ed Sowell on 27 Mar 2010, 11:31 a.m., in response to message #1 by aj04062 I don't know how often, if ever, they come up on eBay, but it's easy to set up a search that automatically sends you an email when one appears. I'm now kicking myself for throwing mine out a few years back. I use my 45 so much I never used the hard case. Ed

I was looking at used tools once and found an empty classic series plastic case for 50 cents. It's a great home for the 67 that John Lopez gave me after he retired. Because of the low probability of finding one; it's not worth a special trip but if you're there anyway...

On a similar note, is there a good way of reinforcing the plastic hinges? >> Message #4 Posted by tim m. on 28 Mar 2010, 1:45 p.m., in response to message #1 by aj04062 The one for my '35 has some ominous cracks in it. -Tim
