I'm going to fly across the Atlantic this summer and I'm going to take my equipment with me.
What is the best way to protect my turntables and mixer? I'm also a bit short on money, so about $250 would be the cost limit.
thanks,
Tommi |

| Well, You Can Give www.htfr.com A Look, They Have A Nice Selection Of Flight Cases And You Might Find One With The Dimensions You Want. Also If You Check Hard You Can Find Someone That Can Make A Custom Flight Case For You So It Would Be At The Exact Size You Want. |

| You might want to insure your equipment at the same time because you never know what the guys at the customs are going to do with the case- they have no idea how to protect DJ equipment. |

| or make ur own.. i have a home made one.. hella cheaper.. but its just like wood thats been carpeted and u can put foam on the inside to protect ur stuff.. otherwise ur looking at a lot of money for those professional flight cases.. unless ur just talking about a flight case for ur records, u can get those for like 40 bux.. |

123dj has them for 39.99
so just go to you local marsmusic or guitar center or w.e and ask them to price match 123dj's price. That's how i got mine:) |

| i was gonna say the same thing.. the way i got mine was by going to yahoo shopping and did a search and picked a place that sold it for 40, but i had to pay shipping of like 6 bux but at least it was under 50.. i forgot which store but u could do what dj tranceformer did.. |

| This Price Matching Sounds Great, Does It Always Work Or Are There Some Stores That Refuse A Price Match? I Have My Eye On A Vestax Mixer And I Could More Or Less Save Another 70 Pound :) |

| I live in Massachusetts and go to school in Colorado so this is a familiar problem for me. I have a battle coffin and a Stanton ESM-11 mixer and 2 Stanton STR8-80's, which are plastic. With my decks in my coffin, it probably weights upwards to 100 pounds if not more... which is going to cost you $100 or more dollars to get on the airplane (most airlines it is 70 or less.). If you go with seperate flight cases for the turntables, which are around $100 a piece, you're tying up 3 pieces of luggage just to get your decks and mixer over there. It's gonna be pricey. Let me know how you make out. |
