OT: Custom case for AADE L/C Meter

Mike F.

I apologize for the off-topic post, but thought some might be interested. I've mostly been a lurker here, as I still have more to learn than I'm able to offer to others.

Several months ago I bought an AADE L/C Meter IIB. I love the thing, but since my "bench" is an open table, it seemed to be a bit unprotected, or at least a dust magnet. So I contacted Rose, N7HKW ([hidden email]), maker of the nicest custom cases I've ever seen, and asked if she would consider making a case for my L/C meter. A few e-mails back and forth with ideas and measurements ensued, and several weeks later a prototype landed on my doorstep. The case exceeded my expectations in every way; she really nailed the design on the first try. It's padded, fleece lined, embroidered, has two pockets for leads, reference sheets, etc., and closes with an ample flap with hook & loop closure.

I was not asked to post this, and I stand to gain nothing by doing so. I just wanted to pass along something that others might be interested in. I asked Rose and her husband, Ken, K0PP for permission to make people aware of this, and for permission to supply photos if anyone requests them, which I'll gladly do. They tell me the cost of these cases will be somewhere around $30US.

73,
Mike, KCØKBC
