Replacement Handle for 70's Ric case

Post by 1965candyapplered »

Hi all.

My handle on my 70's 4001 case obviously became too brittle and snapped into about 12 pieces. Anyone know a good replacement handle for these & where I might get one. I've tried a few searches but nothing seemed quite right.

Cheers.

Thank you sir. L-1071 or L-1666 will do nicely.
They even have the latches I need to fix an old F****r case I have.

FWIW, I had a broken handle on one of my cases replaced by a local luggage shop. The owner is a big Beatles fan, too. 8)

The original was a plastic so i guess the same. Either would be better than tucking the case under my arm :lol:

Just as an off topic....I always wondered why my '71 4001 fits so loose in the case....everything looks to be there...it just moves a lot in the case.
Maybe it was for a 4005?
