Title: IBM Storage Cases
Post by: didjamatic on Wed, 24 March 2010, 22:13:59

IBM cases (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330417143206&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123#ht_2616wt_1165) used for tape reels, but could store whatever.  They aren't very big though.

Both?

To think of it, there is a Mechanicsburg, OH.  Small town that's north-east of Dayton-Springfield metro area and northwest of the Columbus metro area.  While there may be others, that's what I know of it.

I'd clean the reel cases out first if you're going to put some pie in there. Unless you want the extra "IBM reel" flavour, a very rare and exotic taste.

damn, sniped with 5 seconds to go...  oh well I wasn't prepared to pay a penny more than my max bid so whoever won them paid more than I was willing to give for some grungy looking old cases.
