billy, very difficult to find these days. Try www.covers33.com they do some good ones. They offer 100/200/500 boxes in wood & aluminium. Prices from about £25.

I have had one recently with no problems. Free next day delivery too.

The guys at Hard to Find do a 120 x7" black box and a 200 x7" stucco aluminium one

In the past i've bought some rather fine and dandy ones of eBay (great original 60s from sellers in the States)

for the stylists out there noticed other day that mentioned below

b an q have upgraded their £8.99 plastic tool boxes - which hold about 200 45s - they have replaced the plastic hinges/lock bits with metal fittings but still at same price!

on more trad lines, have pasted a past discussion below, since then been told mr blue max also does highly recommended custom ones

Just some recordcase info

was posted up in old forums but as thought may be usefull cause they are going

I've got a great case for my LP's but I'm having a bugger of a time trying to find something to store 100+ 7"s. Does anyone have any suggestions on name brands or web sites with good cases?

Thank you

Can't help with a url, or brand names. As most 45s cases seem to be done by friend of friends in garden sheds

Maybe following option not for the stylists , but def one for those who think "hang on instead of paying 40 quid, could get some more vinyl for that".

Check out b and q, have toolboxes that can hold about 200 45s with no modifications, available in various shades of plastic, complete with handle, place for locks and handy compartmenta

All somewhere around 8 quid!!

Ok not as streetsmart as these records bags or flight cases and do open up the possibilities of getting mistaken as the washing machine repair man, but do the job and a cheap option for at home storage.

If after bit more style, halfords do metal style ones, similar size for a few quid more

Other option is Mattlan have cosmetic cases which hold 50+ 45s , flight case, leopard skin and more design, complete with combination lock and also a mirror!

These do the job fairly well and give hours of entertainment to some when notice its true origns!

As the "washing machine mechanic" look may not be everyones fav, anyone post up any contacts??

I think most DJ shops would be able to get you a 7" flight case. I've got two - one holds about 600 and the other about 150.

The 150 case came from a shop in Brighton, name escapes me, they seem to make them to order. It's a great case, handy size and very strong.

Wow, thank you all so much for your replies. I guess you're mostly from the UK. I'm going to look into these places you've suggested but I live in British Columbia, Canada so the exchange with the pound is horrible. If anyone knows of any North American locations, that'd be great.

Thank you again,

These old shoes web site has some for sale...

Thanks for all replies, think I've found what I'm looking for - but keep 'em comin' by all means!!

Marty the Mod>> On eBay there´s a guy selling professional looking cases that holds 200 45´s for just 89 bucks. Just search for the seller: "thecasestore". They ship only to the US, but might be persuaded to give Canada a go perhaps? Good hunting!

Arcticsoulboy>> good to see another ASB face moving about!

I bought an aluminium one about six months ago and although it seems a bit flippsy with owt in it, it's turned out to be a well worth the purchase.

I make them by myself, its easy, if somebody needs the size of the wool planks, just ask for it
