All, I have 3 of Dave's "Test Bench" enclosures and they have really helped the organization at the test bench. Previously the bare mini-modules were just laying on the workbench shelf, and I had to sort through them to get the one I wanted - Thanks to Dave, that has been solved, the mini-modules I use on a daily basis are right at hand, and all I need to do is reach for the right one in the stack - frustration gone.
The sliding lid works very well - the magnetic strip holds the lid closed and the sliding mechanism is well machined to allow the lid to open with little effort. So if your mini-modules are in a jumble on your bench, Dave has a good solution and he does quality work. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/9/2012 2:23 PM, Dave Van Wallaghen wrote: > Hi Eric, > > I make one out of clear polycarbonate sheet.
