Geeselad Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I want a new 7 inch case to hold about 100- 150 tunes, good quality and asthetically smart , of course, any tips? Tried on line and all I'm getting are the swan boxes which look OK and I went into beatin n rhythm last week, they had a great box but are out of stock at the mo, sorry if this should be in wants, but I'm loking for a reccomendation. Thanks in advance folks.
Mace Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Geese, wait til you see my new one that hold approx 150 x 45s with a built in portable record player I'll try post some pics this week......it's a beauty
Chalky Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Swan Flight the best IMO. It's what I have and it was made to order. Give them a ring, they are really helpful.
Dylan Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 the swan cases do seem to be the best of the aluminium flight cases. I would quite like to find a high quality wooden case of similar size 150-200 records with attention to detail etc etc if anybopdy knows where these are available ?
Guest I KNOW NOTHING Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 hi mace. tony here. is that box the one off johnny beggs with the duct tape around the bottom. lol
Jez Jones Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 kinell Mace---sounds a good 'un. Does it make a brew anorl
Scotters Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 I agree about Swan cases...Got a fair few of them and great quality / value. See this one: https://www.swanflight.com/dj-flightcases/dj-record-boxes-flightcases/7-200.html Cheers,
Soulboy69 Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Have to agree with everyone about Swan flight cases. Just recently got a custom case to hold 150 records and they were extremely helpful (good price too!). I also have the 100 count box from them which realistically holds around 90 if you're using cardboard sleeves so your best option is to probably go for the "custom" 150 count ones. Just e-mail them and let them know what you want.
Geeselad Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 cant wait to see it, but I'm looking forwards to Bidds anyway mate, cant wait!
Geeselad Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 cheers, guys, I'll get in touch with swan, they seems like the top pick, spoke to anton on sat who informs me he's going to knock out some cardon fibre cases, super strong and super light. until then, I'm probably going down thew swan custon route.
Chalky Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 HTFR have an assortment of boxes had nothing but trouble with them a few years ago, would never use them again.

Mace Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) cant wait to see it, but I'm looking forwards to Bidds anyway mate, cant wait! Not sure I can load up pics but will give it a go. Pics taken on a cheap phone so apologies for quality of pics. 3 tier box covered with bronzy brown fabric comprising of lid, record box in middle section, and battery operated player in base section. All three units lock together, but lid can also be used seperately for just record player. Player is battery operated with earphone socket outlet and battery powered 12V flexi light.

Deadwaxdetective Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 That's a contraption if ever i saw one!!!! So you go to a soul night and peruse the sales box,all top tunes at top prices,then you suddenly see this THING lurking in a REKKID FRIENDLY kind of way.Yeah,right'o! Ok for deeyaying tho' hey?!!! Far-out. Covers 33 do a decent set of flight cases,lightweight,sturdy and up-to-the-job at a reasonable price.That thing that Keith Williams is showing looks like an SAS sandwhich box.!!!!

That's a top notch piece of British Engineering I'll have you know! I actually built it cus I got fed up of carrying a sales box + a portable player + table lights + extension leads for lights etc etc into venues....laxy fecker that I am. Haven't sussed the tea & coffee making facility just yet but there is ample room for a mini-bar
