Cartridge & Headshell Storage

[Cycleallday]

I have a few expensive cartridges mounted in head shells and would like some form a storage box for them - anybody know of supplier ?

I have seen a plastic box from Shure but it seems to be out of stock in most suppliers and I am not too happy with its design and how secure it holds the carts.

Where do you source these Barry? Any I’ve seen have been expensive.

eBay - but most you see there are expensive (> £100). I have a couple, but have also bought two from Dave (hifi_dave), which are virtually identical apart from being finished in a blue-coloured 'leatherette' for ~£50 apiece.

Recently I bought a nice wooden box By Rowney and Windsor for the storage of artist's paint brushes. It has a thick foam rubber inlay, into which I will cut SME/Ortofon G shaped apertures to store headshell/cartridges.

Those boxes do look a better storage option.

The clear box has now arrived and does just what I want but I would have preferred it to have some form of lid locking mechanism as the top is a very loose fit but I think I can fit some rubber or foam beading to the base to resolve it.

If Dave is doing those boxes for £50 then I would have preferred that option.

I'm not sure he has any left. I think I bought the last of his stock.
