Sold - 8U Amp Rack Flight Case - £70

This flight case, with an 8U capacity, is the perfect size for transporting; audio amplifiers, lighting dimmer racks, power distribution panels or other large and weighty kit.


For sale 8U flight case - cheap and practical for £70


The external dimensions are; 42 cm x 53 cm x 59 cm, a practical size which can be transported in a car if needed.

The case is constructed from heavy duty ply, with in a aluminium sheet, stucco textured finish on the outside.
It has 4 large recessed industrial grade butterfly catches, 2 spring loaded recessed flip handles, ball corners and a sturdy wheel board with 4 x 75mm industry standard non-marking castors.
There may be some light surface patination and bits of wear and tear, but everything works as it should.

For sale 8U flight case - sturdy wheel board with 4 x 75mm castors

Both the front and rear covers can be removed, rack strips are fitted to both the front and rear sections. The depth between the rack strips is 38cm, note that the end covers are quite deep, so deep casings as used on some audio amplifiers can still be accommodated. The rack strip on the front is 8U, but I have mounted 9U of kit inside it before, as there is sufficient clearance, the rack strip on the rear is 6U and was installed to a mount power distribution unit and custom input/output patch panels.

For sale 8U flight case - deep audio amplifiers can be accommodated

It came with a hole in one corner where someone had mounted an IEC mains inlet connector.
This type of heavy duty road rack style flight case would cost from £150 upwards new. I have priced it at £70 for a speedy sale, the castors alone would cost half this price alone.

Sold - Jumbo Road Trunk Flight Case - £99

There are large flight cases and then there are oversized flight cases, if this particular one was a person, it would have to be the strong man Geoff Capes.

Jumbo flight case for sale - the Geoff Capes of flight cases

The dimensions are; 119 cm x 60 cm x 86 cm, a very generous size, bigger than my car trailer and not something you're going to squeeze inside a car; needless to say, when packed it will be quite a weight.

The flight case is constructed from ply, covered in a satin black finish. The hinged lid is secured by 2 large, recessed, industrial grade butterfly catches, complemented by spring loaded recessed flip handles, heavy duty corners and 4 x 100mm castors with blue non-marking wheels.

There is some foam lining and plywood sections remaining from their original purpose, obviously this can be removed to make extra space for cables, etc.
There is some minor surface patina on the metal parts and bits of wear and tear, but everything works properly.
This type of heavy duty road trunk style flight case would cost from £200 upwards new. I have priced this at £99 for a speedy sale, the castors alone would cost around £80.

Sold - Budget Road Trunk Flight Cases - £80 each

Following this post I was told that for some, £99 for a road trunk flight case is still too expensive, so what could I do for £80? Ever keen to please, I can offer this pair of flight cases at £80 each, but absolutely no further offers or haggling all-right!

Budget road trunks for sale - big enough for 6 small speakers

They were used for carrying 3 pairs of EV Sx80 speakers as a modular show item. I will need to confirm the dimensions, but I believe them to be; 100 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm, a very practical size.

Sold - Manfrotto Wind Up Lighting Stands Case - £69

Here's another road-show favourite from back in the day and in my humble opinion is the safest way to transport a pair of heavy duty wind up stands. It is much easier to wheel into the venue than something in a bag or loose. Your precious equipment is going to last a lot longer and your hard earned earnings go a lot further with this flight case. So, let's get down to specifics.

Flight case - equipment will last longer

The dimensions are; 183 cm x 39 cm x 33 cm, a very generous size, but do bear in mind that this is going to be too large to fit in a car and when packed will be quite a weight.

The flight case is constructed from ply, covered in a satin black, plastic veneer. The hinged lid is secured by 2 large, recessed, industrial grade butterfly catches, complemented by 2 spring loaded recessed flip handles, heavy duty corners and 4 x 100mm castors with blue rubber non-marking wheels.

There are a couple of ply divider/supports to keep a pair of Manfrotto wind up lighting stands in place whilst in transit. They can be easily removed should they not suit your purposes.

There is some minor surface patination of the metal parts, and bits of wear and tear, but everything still works properly.

Sold - Sennheiser VHF Tie Clip Radio Microphone 2 of 2 - £69

So this the second of two VHF radio microphone kits I have to clear. Some might regard these items as being somewhat archaic, but Sennheiser are the Rolls Royce of microphone manufacturers and even the oldest and most budget orientated models will perform better than a great deal of inexpensive modern equipment from certain parts of the World.

These are VHF units and utilise shared frequencies that aren't subject to any of the recent re-allocation of the radio spectrum and are unlikely to be sold off for mobile use in the foreseeable future. This unit can be switched to work on either of two frequencies, in this instance; 173.800 or 174.100 Mhz.

VHF radio mic kit - this set can operate on 173.800 or 174.100 Mhz

There is an On/Off switch on the transmitter and an attenuator that will drop the signal going to the pre-amp to enable the unit to be used with high level signals, such as acoustic musical instruments. I recall seeing these used successfully with brass and woodwind instruments. It is powered by a 9 Volt PP3 battery, with a good alkaline one it will give around 6 hours of continuous use.

The transmitter antenna is captive and can't be removed, so it's one less connection to break or get lost. The tie clip (lavalier) microphone is detachable and uses a Lemo connector, you can find out more about Lemo connectors for radio microphones here.

The receiver unit has meters to show received RF (radio) and AF (audio) levels, which of the two antennae are active and that the unit is receiving power. Squelch is adjustable by a front mounted pot. Power is supplied by a separate "wall wart" type unit, it is conceivable that you could also power the receiver from a battery supply or vehicle "cigarette lighter" socket for location recording and film work (adapters not supplied).
There are output jacks on the back panel for balanced XLR fixed microphone level or 1/4" jack with a variable line level adjusted by a trim pot.

Two of these units can be locked together and will take up a single unit of rack space, I should be able to find you a suitable tray if this option is of interest to you.

VHF radio mic kit - just £69 for the entire kit including flight case

As there is now so much competition from (in my opinion) cheap inferior equipment from the Far East I have priced these modestly to sell at just £69 for the entire kit, which includes a lightweight flight case. Note that unlike similar systems at this price point found on eBay, this is a true diversity system with two aerials and receiver circuits to guarantee the best possible reception. The aerials can be extended to further improve reception, if you are going to be some distance from a stage or want to locate the receiver inside a rack or shielded control room. If you can find a better deal, drop me a line via the contact page and I will do my best to match it.

It will be supplied in a small lightweight flight case, with padded foam cut outs for the receiver, transmitter, power supply and a couple of batteries. The original hard copy operator's manual will also be included.

Carriage by courier is now included in the price.

For Sale - Gemini P600 P.A. Amplifiers - £49 each

I pulled these amplifiers out of a school p.a. system were they had done about 8 years of constant, if somewhat gentle service. The school had complained that they were becoming noisy in use, read on and you will find out why. For speed, economic and reliability reasons I installed new Samson amplifiers in the school and put these in the workshop as a summer project.
On inspection they were very dusty inside and the bearings had gone on the cooling fans, making them emit a banshee like wail. I thoroughly cleaned them out with a vacuum cleaner and all errant fans were replaced with computer fans of the same size.
They are now whisper quiet, even the attenuators are quiet, so they could be put to use in home studio or used in conferencing or as a standby amplifier for just about any anything requiring a modestly powered amp.

 Gemini P600 - Home studio, conferencing or DJ use

My research would suggest that they can run 85 Watts into 8 Ohms. I used them on a few gigs to drive 10" and 12" vocalist monitor speakers and they worked admirably without overheating or clipping issues. But obviously they wouldn't be first choice for driving a mighty sub-bass system.
That said, most people who read this website are pretty smart and know their stuff, so I shouldn't need to point out that the rating of 85 Watts, is a true R.M.S. value that can be delivered for hours on end without overheating or distortion and not so called "Chinese Watts", which are peak values only possible for milliseconds.
As you can probably guess I am getting very tired of reading adverts on eBay and elsewhere claiming power outputs of 10Kw from a 2U high amplifier fitted with a domestic 13 Amp plug. If you do the math you will soon realise that if such claims were true, the unit would need to be fitted with a cee-form plug and need to be fed off an industrial 63 Amp 3 phase power distribution board.

The overall package is 4U tall, but shallow, quite the inverse of modern designs and the weight is around 10 Kg. The front panel has an On/Off switch with power indication, there are two large volume control knobs and selectors allowing you to run two sets of speakers independently or simultaneously. The rear panel has 1/4" balanced input jacks or phono unbalanced input jacks. Output is via push terminals. Should it be of use, I have a selection of 19" output panels available for additional cost, sorry I am not a charity.

If your interest is technical in nature, you can find an overview with the specification sheet here

I have priced these to sell at £49 each, there have been some similar models that I've seen sold on eBay for less, but they were all in ropey looking condition and not cleaned and checked over like these particular units. There are no issues with noise or performance, but do bear in mind that the componentry will be the best part of 25 years old, they will all be good quality components, but even the best capacitors can go out of specification over time.

Feel free to collect, or I can arrange courier delivery within the UK mainland for just £10. Exceptions apply to certain areas; such as the Highlands and Islands and may be subject to surcharges.
