I’m looking to get a Protec Max case for my vintage 62H. Hickey’s notes the following:
That 22.5 to 25.5 puts a block right at the TIS mechanism. Has anyone dealt with this? Is the block smashable? I could see the TIS for a 70H being a problem, but perhaps the more “svelte” mechanism of the 62H could squeeze in?
I did see the thread Posaunus started about using a Max for his 71H. Surprisingly, the 62H slide, even extended a bit to be in tune, is shorter than the slide of my 73H. I assume slide length should not be an issue.
Centering blocks for the slide are at located 10.5 to 14.5 inches, and again at 22.5 to 25.5 inches. This is of concern only for those with rare tuning-in-the-slide systems.

Answering my own question.
Based on a photo kindly provided by Posaunus I took a chance and picked up a Protec Max. As shown in the attached photos, it fits.
