Hi Barry,

I can only recommend two places on this list it seems. Antique Electronics at 
www.tubesandmore.com have boxes from Hammond Manufacturing (yes, it's the 
transformer company) which look very much like unfinished aluminum boxes of 
the old MXR effects. They have one which is 4.38" X 2.40" X 1.07"D (almost 
the same dimensions as my MXR Dyna Comp, but a quarter inch too shallow) for 
$7.20 and one 4.70" X 3.70" X 1.18" D (almost the same as my MXR Flanger but 
again a bit too shallow) for about $9.35. I can't imagine finding much that 
would be cheaper than these.
