One-off two-sided 16-space case. Zero-Halliburton made some double-height cases in small quantities, and they rarely come

and Zero cases. I'm not currently building most of these, but you can see other cases I build
here.
I assume this case has been present at many people's deaths, and could therefore be haunted. Al metal pieces were custom
crafted to save weight and space. The hole where the lock formerly lived was filled with a piece of 218 module from behind.

up for sale. I built this one special for a customer who requested the format converters in the panel on the top side.
Some Synovatron CVGT Elements were used also, for converting between Euro and Buchla. I hand-made a custom Electric
Music Box emblem to cover the hole left by the lock mechanism, as well as a special box that fits behind the case when
open to keep the whole assembly from tipping over, and also doubles as a cable/accessory carrying case. The wire rope
stays can be detached with a thumb screw, which gives the user the option of using the top half vertically, or beside the
bottom half. An umbilical DIN cable connects the two halves to power the upper section. approx. 21 x 17 x 10 inches.

These almost never come up for sale and it took considerably more work than the usual cases, including
the welding of holes and much dent-removal, but the result turned out nicely. approx. 21 x 17 x 5.5 inches:
flat-sided aluminum deep drawn stampings. Later cases had the now-famous two pairs of "ribs" stamped laterally
into the case's sides, which gave them considerable strength. This case is nearly identical to the early 1940s case
above, but it has a single, shallow rib stamped into the upper section of both case halves. I imagine this was an
early attempt at adding strength to the structure. approx. 21 x 17 x 5.5 inches:
