Nice editing. What did I say the ones that I got will be used for? And I was

Update to my update. Sun Type 6 requires box modification. Sun Type 3
fits without modification.

An update on keyboard storage, which I asked about here last month.
I ordered some USPS Large Flat Rate Priority Mail "board game" boxes.
This is a size not usually available at the post office and come 25 in a
pack. They are a good size for mailing (and I am glad that I ordered

I alternate them front-back so the slope of the keys array is compensating

Hi Alan,
I go to my local shopping center.
The fish shop there, has the fish delivered in white foam boxes.
Some are long with lids.
I go dumpster diving and collect them.
They are suitable for keyboards,
depends on the length of the keyboard,
and the length of the fish.

The blasted one is on the left side of the keyboard.
Having a spare for the right side probably not a bad idea too...
We were missing keyboards and got this like new one gifted to us. It was
heartbreaking to see it damaged in shipping.
We have a coup

Ed, that was excellent! We appreciate the extra effort.
Alas, you are 15 years too late for my extra 5150 keyboard parts. They
didn't make it through the third move (Ben Franklin commented how that was
as disruptive as a fire)

ULINE sells a box (you can buy a qty of 1-5-20-etc that fits the dimensions
of most any keyboard and would be a good long-term storage solution. I
have bought these and they stack well.

No worries. I use Uline for all sorts of stuff and they generally
deliver within 2 days (even out here in the boonies). I always find a
use for any extras. ;-)
I generally avoid USPS partly because they don't deliver to our house,
so we have a P.O. Box (which means I have to talk to the shipper
Thanks. I had seen that one before, but didn't know what to do with the
extra 15 boxes.
The USPS box has the advantages of being free and being a box I am more
likely to use to ship something with (because of the flat rate price and
not having to deal with weighing the box).

Try ULine (uline.com). They have a keyboard shipping box (p/n S-6496).
They're only $2.70/ea but the minimum order is 25. :-(

Maybe contact a shipping supply company. They have a number of boxes likely
to be suitable.

I have a bunch of Sun keyboards that I need to store more efficiently
and don't want to risk damaging by stacking on top of each other. They
are Type 4s, 5s, and 6s (without the wrist rest), maybe 10 in total.
Anyone here know of a box or boxes that would work well for this?
