Whoa.  That's not too far from me.  I had no idea it was there though.  I'll check it out when I can.  Thanks for posting the link!    :applaud:

Using free priority mail shipping boxes to hold PCBs....not a bad idea...

Funny, he didn't notice the for sale sign on the Astdelux obscuring part of the name. Screen looks nice and bright. Seems to be missing the backdrop, though....

@ Vigo:  I think Paige mentioned that a few years ago.

Well, it makes sense. I wouldn't be surprised if he did, he can be a clever guy.

Most arcade collectors I have met do that.  I do.  I'm surprised when guys don't, actually, unless they have something better.

I guess I never checked to see what others were doing. There is a reason why I have a 0 post count over at KLOV.  :laugh2:

I used to have an old flat mail sorting shelf that I got for free that I used to hold PCBs. Then one day I needed wood for a bonfire, and a dedicated shelf for the 8 or so PCBs I had seemed like a waste.

So what I did for most of my PCBs was tape two flats of cardboard together and made pretty much a big old record sleeve / cardboard envelope. With the exception of a few older boards with heat sinks and other things to make them odd sized, for those I used old boxes I accumulated that are in that size, mostly old MOBO boxes.
