Matsui 43mm chip rack GB interest

Cidertown · 04-29-2008, 06:02 PM

The Matsui racks are the only 43mm rack I am aware of that fit a standard birdcage (see thumbnails below and more pictures here: http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/group-...#post606647%29

This is the only rack Matsui makes, so it fits 39mm chips as well, presumably just not as tightly. The rack is essentially two identical halves that snap shut and it fits in the cage with the lid on, so you can protect your chips a little better. ASM 44mms "sort of" fit in these cases. See Dwight87's post on pg. 4 of this thread for pictures and info.

Do we know if these fit the ASM 44s yet?

My 44s are due to ship any day now and I should have them the following day. I've got a few of these matsui racks, so I'll be able to tell you soon (I hope!). BTW these work great for 39mm as well as 43mm.

Here's a pic of these racks with 39 and 43 mm chips in them. The top (green) chips are 39mm the bottom are all 43mm, these are zens.

The shipping quote was FedEx, presumably airmail. I dunno if they could be persuaded to ship them otherwise (e.g. by sea or another carrier) or whether a FedEx account on my end would make it cheaper. The problem, obv., is that the racks are bulky, if not heavy. If anyone has alternative shipping suggestions, lemme know.

This may all be moot, since as soon as I posted this, I noticed that Palm Imports is working on their own cage-ready 43mm racks: http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/palmim...tml#post739324

I sincerely hope that Joe at PI can swing something soon, however until we hear from him on a time-frame, go ahead and post your interest as if the PI ones aren't happening. We can always cancel this later.
