Kevin Wilson Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 If you are after a transmitter/field box, Maplin are running one of their regular specials on an aluminium case £15 this may bank holiday weekend. Looks a nice case in the photos. Smooth rounded corners, not the usual square one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 It's a good case. I've been using one as a transmitter case for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Definitely a step up from the "normal" cheap cases - in common with them, not real aluminium panels but very good value at the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these the aluminium foil on hardboard like the cheap looking square ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 As far as I can tell without mutilating mine - but the edges are aluminium extrusions and I'd say these cases are very good value at less than £15 - see the one in question on the left...

Robin Kearney Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I've used one of these for a few years, I built a little box in one end which holds my lead acid battery, pump and connections for my starter. Very useful and tough as old boots. r. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Miller Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Just what I wanted for my new Aurora 9 Tx and I like the shoulder strap and that I can specify a day for delivery at a small extra cost; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Price 2 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 My thanks for the heads up Kevin. Wish I had read some other posts as I would have opted for home delivery. Not all bad though as the Kettering & Northampton stores seem to be out of stock so off to Milton Keynes on the morrow. Guess that means Ikea for meatballs then!!
