I recently rewound a 15/60 Franceformer and used a 30 cal. ammo can to put
it in.( $3.50 surplus). It's almost exactly the same size as the original
case the transformer came in. I mounted all the input and output terminals
on the lid. I used ½ in. PVC piping for the HV towers.(used a slip to
threaded coupler with and "O" ring). For the LV input , I used the original
ceramic mount. These boxes are metal, very sturdy, air and water tight,(to
keep the ammo dry during combat), and come with a convenient carry handle to
make your transformer easy to move. I would think that moving a 30lb.
transformer in a flimsy plastic bin full of oil is not the easiest thing to
do. Email me if you want more details.

	I just dropped by walmart on my way home, and picked up one of the 
	tupperware BREAD CONTAINERS.  It fits my Allanson 12/60 core
perfectly for 
	solvent wash and run under oil.  It has several inches extra in
length, but 
	height and width are perfect.  This will probably be a good
container for 
	many nsts.  One disadvantage is that it must stand upright, so is
more 
	likely to spill than one that would stand on it's side.
