[R-390] Transit Cases

[Dave or Debbie Metz]

I have such a transit case for sale. Its about 33"x24"x 20".(real ball 
park here)  Former military fiberglass, top lid, huge foam packing.  I 
would like to sell it but the problem is shipping it empty costs about 
as much as shipping it full because it's quite oversized.   Dimensional 
weight is a killer. Last I checked, empty shipping was in the 
neighborhood of $75 and up.  (previously listed on this list but no 
interest)

However, if you want to ship a 390, I am sure it could drop off the end 
of a 53'footer and no damage.

Price: $40 plus shipping or pick it up for free shipping!  No rush on 
pickup either!

I'd really like to see someone on this list get this great 390 shipping 
device.  If interested, please reply off list and I will get exact 
dimensions so you can verify the dimensional weight to your qth.

73's
