My original box I designed myself back in 1973 with a home made power panel. It seemed light at the time but two years ago I realized it had gotten much heavier (or at 67 I was not as strong as I was in my 20s
). I looked around for a new field box and settled on the Sig Minni Boss. I did not build the power module but used a 1.2 mah 12 volt gel cell to drive the electric fuel pump eliminating the heavy 7 mah battery. I have a self contained glow driver with a LiIon battery that I store in the box. I also switched to a Sullivan Dynatron Starter with attached 14.4 volt NiCad battery that straps to the end of the box for storage. Since the box has a built in 1/2 gallon fuel tank and 3 drawers for tools and parts, I now have the perfect field box (for me
) which carries everything I need and everything the old box did. It weighs only 15 pounds without the starter attached which is half the weight of the old box.
