Broken Latches on my G&L Hardshell Case

Post by ummagumma »

I recently bought a 1994 Legacy online. It was packaged nicely in the OHSC, but the only issue was 2 of the 3 latches were broken. I know I can replace the latches, but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for this style case? Thanks!

You're welcome! Also make sure that the case is in good condition where the latches are attached. I took the OHSC for an '82 L-1K to a luggage repair shop for new latches, and was turned away. The shop's owner said the case itself wouldn't have held up to the drilling and pop riveting that would have been needed. YMMV.
