Probably it's about time to employ a security service.
By the way. Following the suicase kit discussion I thought it was
about time to restore mine. I replaced the disappearing rubber foam
and took care about the loose solder joints. So far it appears "as
new". The only thing missing is the top finish (the red textile).
Probably I replace it against some snake skin or so. Any suggestions
are appreciated :-)
I found out the all parts of the suicase are standard stuff (XLR
plugs, ply wood hexagons and the black lexan/makrolon material) but
the outer plastic suicase. So if anybody is interested to build his
own one: The "expnsive" part are the XLR plugs. If you find a suitcase
like that or if you build a road suitcase (width=33cm, depth=37cm,
height=10cm inside), all other parts together won't cost more
than30-40 Euros. Pics and the stencil for the rubber foam coming soon
