WTB SCR300 / BC-1000 battery box

Post by retro-roco » Fri Dec 01, 2017 8:08 am

Looking for an early style (WWII) battery box for my BC1000 project. Does not have to be perfect condition, as I already have a project coming up to restore my BC1000. Would consider a later style box with the post war latches.

Pics, price, and an idea of shipping cost in the US to 61548 would be appreciated. Thanks!

I no longer have any of the battery boxes but if you happen to end up with one with the later coil spring latches, I have the early ones. Both the original types (oval, hex and oval with wrinkle finish) with 0.074 to 0.083" dia. wire and the late War replacements with 0.095" dia wire. Same one also fits the PE-97, 117 and 120 top covers. $7.50 ea., $6.25 ea. for 6 and $5.50 ea. for 12.

IMI sells repro's but the latches are cheap as they are made in India.

Yep, Ive seen them. Not interested in them, as I'd prefer an original.

I forgot to add in my previous that I do not have the J-hooks, just the latches themselves. So for example, if the IMI boxes were OK but the latches are not, what I have might only fix part of the problem.
