Sold - Laptop / Monitor / Tool Box Flight Case # 2 of 2 - £39

This flight case was used to house a 15" LCD monitor used at events as a "confidence monitor" until last year. The dimensions are; 46cm x 40cm x 17cm, a dinky size that will fit into the smallest of boot spaces. The case is constructed from plywood covered in super hard wearing blue melamine. As the pictures show, it is has been over painted in satin black to match the livery of my other cases. I will most likely return it to the original bright blue finish prior to sale and provide updated images.

Internally the case is finished with some foam padding, you will probably need to re-foam it to your new kit, I can provide further info on where to source high density foam if you require it. It has a twin Penn branded miniature butterfly catches, a single leather carrying handle and 3-rivet ball corners.

The lid is on lift of hinges on this case and is therefore removable allowing kit to remain in place whilst in use.

This style of flight case is usually quite expensive and could cost from £99 upwards new. I have priced it at £39 for a speedy sale.

Sold - Lemsford Style Solid Aluminium Flight Case - £49

On offer is a flight case in the true meaning of the word, i.e. cases designed to be as light and strong as possible for air travel The best way to achieve this, is for the case to be solely constructed from corrugated or textured aluminium.
Lemsford Cases are well known for making this type of all aluminium construction, even the edges are welded together, rather than featuring riveted extrusions. I can't say whether this was from Lemsford Cases, but it is certainly very similar and is exactly the style of case much loved by TV broadcasters in particular.

Lemsford style case for sale - a style much loved by broadcasters

The dimensions are; 56cm x 51cm x 15cm, a useful size that should fit into the boot of any car. I have no idea what its original purpose was, but I used it as a case for my Spirit Folio mixing desk. It is still padded out with extra foam for this purpose, obviously it could be stripped out to suit your own purposes. It would make a great case for another small mixing desk, guitar effects pedal board or tool kits and test gear.

  Lemsford style case for sale - has a lift off lid

The case is constructed from diamond pattern aluminium and as mentioned above, there are no corners fitted or required. It does have 2 Excelsior catches, a comfortable leather handle and a lift off lid.

Lemsford style case for sale - with two Excelsior catches

There are a couple of differently coloured patches on the lid, these are just the residue of areas that had worn a company logo in the past and have been over-painted. There is a dent on the bottom of the case, as shown in the picture. Other than that it is still a very clean, presentable and functional case.

Sold - Microphone Box Flight Case - £39

On offer is a flight case that I fitted out to use as a stage box for microphones. The dimensions are; 50cm x 46cm x 26cm, a size which will fit into the boot of even the smallest of vehicles.

Flight case for sale - will fit into the smallest of vehicles

It was originally manufactured by CP Cases, a company with a long history who are still producing both stock and custom flight cases today. This particular flight case is made from vinyl covered lightweight plywood and aluminium extrusions. It was originally a bright blue colour, but I refinished it in Vinylkote satin black in order to match my other cases.
Vinylkote is much more than just a normal plastic paint, it is designed to be used on car interior parts, once applied it cannot be removed from the surface and will not wear off like other finishes. It is testament to the product that it has survived for around 20 years without a blemish.

Flight case for sale - New handle on the front of the case

It has 2 regular sized recessed industrial grade butterfly catches, 2 spring loaded recessed flip handles and 3-rivet ball corners. The handle on the front of the case is one that I fitted, the original was not well placed for balance, resulting in the case knocking into your leg. This new arrangement is much better balanced, there is a slight overlap of the mounting surfaces and I chose not to utilise a couple of the rivet holes. If you wanted to add a couple rivets if would be half an hours work to drill out the metal work and fit them.

Stage box for sales - space for 12 mics and accessories

I constructed a hardboard and foam divider for 12 standard microphones, anything like a Shure SM57/58 will fit a treat, with slimline condenser microphones like the AKG C451/460 there will be a little free play. As can be seen on the picture below the Samson CO5 fits beautifully. There is an accessories pod section for you to store additional clips, desk stands, clamps, cables or whatever else fits. The lid is captive, with a stay and substantial hinges.

Sold - Heavy Duty Road Trunk Flight Cases - £89 each

As promised in my last post, it is now time to switch from the microscopic world of components to a series of posts about the very macroscopic world of flight cases.

On offer is a matching pair of road trunk flight cases, which can be purchased individually or together. Their dimensions are; 75cm x 57cm x 57cm, which is a very handy size, I once managed to fit both of them into the boot space of my Citroen Berlingo and still leave space for all five occupants or plenty of other gear.

Flight cases for sale - satin black diamond pattern ply

The cases are constructed from heavy duty ply, covered in a satin black, diamond pattern, finish.

With; 4 large recessed industrial grade butterfly catches, no fewer than 10 spring loaded recessed flip handles, heavy duty 6-rivet ball corners, birch ply wheel boards (black finish) with 4 x 100mm castors and industry standard ‘Guitel’ non-marking blue wheels, they are substantial items.

100mm Guitel  castors - non-marking blue wheels.

There is foam lining remaining from their original purpose, ensuring maximum protection for delicate items whilst in transit, obviously this can be removed for extra space for cables, etc.

A marine ply tray is included which sits on top of the foam lining, it is strong enough to be used as a step.

Marine ply tray - strong enough to be used as a step

There was some surface patination from storage in an unheated area, so I have taken the liberty of running over the worst of it with a burnishing tool where feasible. This has smartened up their appearance and they shouldn't shame you whether you next gig is at the local pub or a 5 star hotel.

Flight cases for sale - smart enough for 5 star hotel

They have no corporate branding logos or sign writing on them, there are a few minor marks on the top from the position of the original tour labels.

Once used to hold a pair of Barco video projectors and their associated accessories, I re-cycled them as road trunks. There is plenty of space for cables in the bottom section, whilst the trays are very useful for patch leads or smaller accessories like effects pedals or D.I. boxes. As the pictures below will show; a Roland JC85 (2 x 10" combo) fits and even my Sessionette 90 (monster 2 x 12" combo) would fit comfortably with thinner foam.

Sessionette 90 2 x 12" combo - would fit comfortably

This type of heavy duty road trunk style flight case would cost from £200 upwards new. I have priced these at £89 each for a speedy sale, the castors alone would cost around £80 and they are virtually in new condition.

I can arrange personal delivery for the following cost:
  • Within the M25 - No charge
  • 50 miles from London (e.g. Brighton) - £20
  • 100 miles from London (e.g. Coventry) - £30
