I have the original hard case from a Benge 175f, looks very similar to the cases Eastlake Conns used to ship in. It's clearly spent most of its life in a closet. Everything is sturdy and in good shape, latches are all good, solid handles on top and side. Decent storage compartment under the bell. There's a bit of extra room in here for my 175f so I'm guessing they made a "one size fits all" case. It can definitely accommodate an 8.5" bell, probably 9". Since it fits the long Benge wrap it should also accommodate any Conn or Bach (or similar) valve wrap, though I wouldn't bet on fitting something with oversized valves.

Mostly I want this out of my apartment, so I'll try asking $40 + actual shipping costs. If you can pick it up in Chicago it's yours for $20.

Pics below. Benge 175 shown for reference only; still not interested in selling that one.

Someone was looking for a Benge case in another thread
