A very public Thank You to Terence T

Not that long ago some of you will remember that I asked some questions about dry cabinets.

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9226&highlight=dry+cabinet

As was discussed in this thread, these items are very common, or necessary, in Asia, but not at all here in North America. I followed up with everyone's suggestions, searching the web extensively for North America distributors of these products, and came to a simple conclusion, you can't get one of these things over here. Well, the distributors I spoke to were helpful but the only models they had access to were industrial units. The smallest size one, a 60 liter cabinet was priced in excess of $700.

I then investigated all the sources suggested and decided that the Digi-Cabi DHC-80 was the right cabinet for me. Dealing with the people at Digi-Cabi was very easy, but there were currency exchange issues and because they do not normally sell to folks on my side of the world I needed to arrange the shipping myself.

This is where Terence stepped in and offered an incredible helping hand. Terence served as, I guess, a purchasing agent and arranged the shipping for me. Today I went to the post office and picked up my cabinet, all in one piece Terence. 🙂

Terence, thank you very much for all your help. All I can say is that it was nice having a friend in the right place.

THANK YOU!!!!

Hey, no thanks neccessary, it was just in keeping with the community spirit here on RFF. Lugging the 20kg+ box to the post office was great morning exercise, my wife thanks you for that Ralph.

Keep the humidity level around 55%, it should be real easy with the digital controls. It'd take about a day or two for the humidity level to stabalize. I used to have such a tough time regulating my older analog cabinets but these new ones are a god send. Hope it's big enough for your needs... now you'd need to fill it up as quickly as possible.
