Listers, If you are just looking for a box big enough to do keysticks, I picked one up at Harbor "Fright" Tools for $69 on sale, $99 regular. Mine is the model number 38440-2VGA. It is a plastic cabinet, big enough (not a lot of extra room in there) to bead blast keysticks. For $69, you can't go wrong. Works fine, had a small opening that I had to seal in a lower corner, but cheap and effective. It's just bead blasting after all. Go to www.harborfreight.com and type in "bead blasting" in the keyword search. William R.
