[R-390] R390A Shipping boxes

[Steve Toth]

Yep, It was Lighthouse for the Blind in Fort Worth - one of the email replies mentioned that and it jogged my memory.
And you are correct - they no longer make the boxes.  I checked on their website.
The size Hank Arney was selling was 24x24x16 - I went out to the garage and measured the one I have.  Nobody seems to be making that size.  The closest I can find in a 500# box is 24x24x24.

I have a very, very fuzzy memory that it was one of the Lighthouse for 
the Blind organizations in Texas.   Hope I am not sending you on a wild 
goose chase.    Also seem to remember that they stopped making the boxes.
