Well, you can scratch US Recording off of this list. I bought everything they had and the manufacturer they were using is no longer in business. "The cosmic ballet goes on.."

Hi Brandon, Are you by chance talking about the 10.5" setup boxes: http://usrecordingmedia.com/quwhsebofor1.html For what it's worth, the high price of $179.99/10, seems to be the cost of buying 50 such boxes - not for just 10, since it's a bundle of 10 five-packs. More than $3, each, but with removable hub support and neutral pH factor. The USRM box seems to be a bit cheaper than the Archivcarton für Spulen sold at darklab: http://www.darklab-magnetics.de/darklab_webshop/index.htm USRM also under-cuts the price of those at Family Archives, fwiw: https://www.familyarchives.com/products/Reel%252dTo%252dReel-Boxes.html For $90, you could buy 100 of these no-hub-support, not quite right-sized Uline mailers: http://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-3389/Easy-Fold-Mailers/11-3-4-x-10-1-2 -Kraft-Easy-Fold-Mailers Good luck, Andrew On 4/5/12 5:46 PM, "Brandon Burke" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Can anyone suggest a good vendor for plain white 10" reel boxes?
