I pulled out my Model 100 the other day and discovered

hard case has begun to disintegrate. The hard case is
the Radio Shack
original-issue hard case, so the foam is a pretty big size.
I'm sure that others have experienced this already and I was
searching for
replacement options that didn't involve gluing
together small pieces
of foam
to fit the case.
Is this foam for dust filtering? Or thin foam for holding boards in
place? Or thick foam for cushioning against shock?
For the first, I use the filter material sold for cooker
hoods/extractors. It's cheap, available in many hardware stores and
kitchen suppliers, and doesn't impede the air flow too much. It can
also be pulled apart to get a half-thickness.
For the other two, I go to the nearest upholstery shop, or any place
that repairs furniture or car seats. They sell various densities and
thicknesses, often cut to size, or in standard small quantities (like
15" or 18" square).
