<<  Anybody gotten one of these babies yet? I finally replaced my 20 year old 
case a few months ago with the APSCO technician's case (#10038) and although 
it's basically a nice case it has one annoying (to me, at least) problem. The 
molded in partitions don't reach all of the way up to the pallet, so all of 
my non-secured larger tools and other odds 'n ends that live in the larger 
compartment end up in a tangled pile in the bottom of the case every time I 
carry it. I'm getting tired of having to disentangle my mute strips from my 
soundboard steel and assorted screwdrivers and pliers every time I open my 
box. Also, I read a message here back in the Summertime about this new Genck 
case having a side pocket that will take a full sized laptop computer. Can 
anyone verify this? And oh, yeah - does anybody want to buy a low milage 
APSCO tech case - cheap?  ;-)

As for tools that tend to relocate in the toolbox, I went to a local music 
dealer that sells band and guitar instruments.  He gave me a piece of 
styrofoam 1 inch thick,  and large enough to cover the lower part of the 
Genck tool case.  I cut the thickness in half with my bandsaw, and by laying 
it on the lower section then closing the toolbox, the tools stay put.
