Heads up - Maplin flight case on offer again

[Fish 152]

Maplin flight cases ideal for eyepieces reduced by a tenner again.

They all so have a very nice Peli case on offer as well.

This could be the first time it's been on offer when I don't actually need one

Cheers, might just be popping in tomorrow - their 70kg folding trolley is down by a tenner too, happy days

i bought a couple last time around, they are cheaper than buying the foam!

Cheers again, picked up one of the silver cases with foam, one of the high impact black cases with foam and a 70kg trolley and saved a tenner off each item - next job is to work out what is going where and do a hatchet job on the foam.

This is the black one:

Oh, hush, you lot.  Now I'm finding myself tempted to buy one anyway just because I know I'll need it at some point

Cheaper on Amazon

Cheaper and smaller though. 400x240x125 (amazon) vs 460x350x165 (Maplin) - horses for courses I guess and a good spot nonetheless.

I'm in the same position - I've got one unfilled at the moment because I want this new one to look neat - and at the moment I'm not sure if it should be a Delos case, a Plossl + Ortho case or a LV case. Yes, I am thinking about buying more eyepieces, again .  

Another one would mean I don't have to choose .

Yeah, just avoid their PSU's, they drown out radio spectrum they are that noisy bad.

And they save you money as you can see I can't buy any more TVs, unless I sell the 31mm

I got one of these from EBay, and it's fantastic. Bigger than the Maplin case, but not by too much, and waterproof.

I was looking at wrong Maplin sizes. They are both about the same.

If you move the 2nd eyepiece 2 squares to the left, and the 3rd eyepiece 1 square to the right, there is room for another
