[Coco] vendors of empty cartridges shell for coco

[Bill Pierce]

The holes and screws that hold the case together would be present. I'm referring to holes for spacers, mounting screws etc... I would have to order these cases at 25-50 at a time. I would not do a finished product made for a specific board, sell 5, then the board be redesigned next week for an "add on" and the mounting scheme changed. I'd be stuck with 20-45 unusable, and unpaid for cases.
I'm more offering this to the developers of the boards to house their products in which they can select and install their own mounting scheme. In that way, they can offer a finished product complete and in a case. 
At this point, unless there's interest. I would not bother even getting prices as I would (most likely) have to pay for the design to be processed. This is not some home shop, but a very unique custom shop dealing with unique clientel.

I don't have the ability, the tools, the shop, or the knowledge to drill out  
holes in a metal case. I would pay to have a fully finished case. As it  
would be cheaper than buying a drill press and whatnot for a one-off use. 
 
Not everyone has the ability or desire to drill a metal case to save a buck  
or two.

I have a nephew that works at a "custom" metal shop near me. He does laser  
cutting on all kinds of racks, enclosures etc. He said he may be able to get  
small runs of stuff done. I've offered this before but no one seemed  
interested. 
I can have him check on getting some cases done J&M style (long & short).  
These are nice 2 part cases with no major cutting or bending. I can take  
measurements off my J&M controller and give him the specs and see what he  
comes up with. 
I can take pics of the case so you can see how they're made. I would say get  
blank cases and do your own drilling for screw hole and spacers. Keeps cost  
down. 
Let me know if anyone is interested.

Has anyone worked out one that can be laser cut and assembled?   There are  
some 
vendors who do that at pretty reasonable cost.  I have yet to do this with 
anything too many projects right now but at some point I am going to try it.

I was machining cases for Roger when he needed them.  I still have some 
extra cases available, these are the half cases used for program packs. 
I will get some photo's later today.  The biggest issue is these are 
machined and take a fair amount of time to make.
