[Coco] vendors of empty cartridges shell for coco

[Al Hartman]

I don't have the ability, the tools, the shop, or the knowledge to drill out 
holes in a metal case. I would pay to have a fully finished case. As it 
would be cheaper than buying a drill press and whatnot for a one-off use.

Not everyone has the ability or desire to drill a metal case to save a buck 
or two.

I have a nephew that works at a "custom" metal shop near me. He does laser 
cutting on all kinds of racks, enclosures etc. He said he may be able to get 
small runs of stuff done. I've offered this before but no one seemed 
interested.
I can have him check on getting some cases done J&M style (long & short). 
These are nice 2 part cases with no major cutting or bending. I can take 
measurements off my J&M controller and give him the specs and see what he 
comes up with.
I can take pics of the case so you can see how they're made. I would say get 
blank cases and do your own drilling for screw hole and spacers. Keeps cost 
down.
Let me know if anyone is interested.

Has anyone worked out one that can be laser cut and assembled?   There are 
some
vendors who do that at pretty reasonable cost.  I have yet to do this with
anything too many projects right now but at some point I am going to try it.

I was machining cases for Roger when he needed them.  I still have some
extra cases available, these are the half cases used for program packs.
I will get some photo's later today.  The biggest issue is these are
machined and take a fair amount of time to make.
