I just love the road cases. Wish I could find one for my spare transport and future electronics. Look at the price it went for.

Wow...comes with "spare belts for all the motors"...wait...there AREN'T any belts on the 440...:???:

Nice sample. The seller got lucky on the closing price tho'.

Wierd knob at the end of the capstan shaft. I've not seen that before...

huh, spare belt..

I'm thinking I might build a road case for mine. I'll probably start another thread for suggestions.

Why not just wrap a belt around it?

Is that a joke? I need to be able to store it.

Yes...sorry...bad joke...just poking fun at the "spare belts" that came with that 440 in the eBay listing...like, they must be good for something.

In that case .. LOL The extra transport I have is just sitting there in a chair in the basement. I hate to have it sitting there like that.

Yikes...for that price, you'd think that it came with three or four extra headblocks...
