Default Found Good Surplus Place

I was figuring on building the control enclosure for my son's belt
grinder but looked on ebay. Found a lot of enclosures, sorted on
nearest first. There were a bunch at 5 miles. I looked up the
outfit, and they're in Georgetown, TX. I got a Hoffman ECL504020
enclosure new in box for $168. Now I just need to make a back plate
and lay out the holes. List on that sucker was $1640 or something
like that. Lots of mechanical drive stuff, too.

I'll be going to their website again before I go retail.
