1000 ct Bird Cage that will fit Bud Jones racks

[TheBigTater]

I need recommendations on a 1000 chip acrylic Bird Cage that will fit with real Bud Jones chip racks. The Bud Jones chip racks are heavy guage and are at least 1/4 inch longer that a Paulson or the standard generic racks out there. That adds a full 1/2 inch of length to the stacks. All the Bird Cages I have wont fit down over the extra long BJ racks.

Surely someone makes a bird cage that is a little bigger that will accommodate the bigger racks. Maybe Bud jones makes a Bird Cage??? Not picky on brand just want one with at least 2 screws in the base, prefer 3 but I can handle 2, for stability.

Anyone that has some Bud Jones, in BJ racks, in a Bird Cage point me to the best pace to pick up some Bird Cages please.

Thanks!

Hey Tater:

I bought an inexpensive birdcage from Amazon:

Da Vinci Acrylic Poker Chip Carrier with 1,000 Chip Capacity: Amazon.com: Sports & Outdoors

To house my Bahamia's in Bud Jones racks, and they fit in perfectly. I don't know how many screws are in the bottom, but I would be happy to look for you when I get home. If it helps you, I could take some measurements for you as well.

Thanks Parotthedd, I appreciate it.

If you can check on the screws that'll be great. I'll probably take a flyer and get one of these to see. As long as it will fit over the BJ racks, that's my main concern. If needed I can add a screw later. I have 5 cages (2 different models and neither will fit over the BJ racks.

Ok Tater:

The measurements of my birdcage are:

Interior:
Width -9.0"
Depth -7.0"
Height -10.0"

It easily accommodates 8 Bud Jones racks with Paulson Bahamia's, plus another Paulson rack and a Paulson rack with cover (for the $500's).

In case there is a difference, my BJ racks measure:

Width -8.5"
Depth -3.0"
Height -1.25"

I have some pictures I can send you if you'd like.

Sadly there are only 2 screws in the base, and now I am nervous each time I haul them from room to room.

Let me know if I can help in any other way.

Thanks JT, I'll double check the measurements when I get home tonight but it sounds like the cage should be what I need.

2 screws are standard and usually strong enough as long as you aren't transporting the chips more than moving them around inside the house. All my other cages have 2 screws and they hold up fine.

Thanks again JT for the help.

I received 2 cases yesterday and they worked out perfectly. You can definitely see the size difference when placed side by side with my other cages, and they seem sturdy enough.
