LX90 scope and foam dimensions
      10/29/09 12:18 AM

Hi, I am trying to build a case for my LX90 and was wondering if someone could kindly provide some dimensions.

I chanced upon the idea here: http://www.cloudynights.com/item.php?item_id=546

Unfortunately the author's email does not seem to be working anymore.

I have in mind cases of this nature:

http://www.amazon.com/Footlocker-Wheeled-Storage-Gallon-Package/dp/B001ELIEU2/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=office-products&qid=1256787912&sr=8-7

However these cases are just about 2" less wide than the LX90's storage box. If anyone has any experience building a case for your LX90s, I would appreciate it if you could let me know the dimensions of your custom cases.

Also, if anyone could tell me the dimensions of the actual foam in the LX90 box, that would be great. I have my box elsewhere (in another country) and so cannot measure it for myself.

Thank you very much!
