<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 18873681, member: 105571&quot;]I have been transferring my collection of slabbed coins from albums into Lighthouse Intercept boxes to save space and hopefully improve the environment in which my coins reside.&nbsp; One problem I&#039;ve encountered is when the box isn&#039;t full.&nbsp; These boxes do not have slots to hold the slabs so if a row isn&#039;t full, the slabs will rattle around if they aren&#039;t restrained.&nbsp; The boxes come with one friction-held barrier that is OK but only one per box and I don&#039;t think they are really that secure.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t want to use things like the cardboard tubes from TP rolls or wadded up paper towels since these products all contain sulfur and other contaminants.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought a couple of spring-loaded, polystyrene TP roll holders off Amazon, cut and drilled some 1/4&quot; plexiglass, cut some 5/16&quot; brass all-thread and came up with these spring-loaded, adjustable spacers.&nbsp; The nut is just hot-glued to the plexiglass in lieu of any kind of glue due to concerns about out-gassing from the glue.&nbsp; The minimum space one will occupy is 4&quot; and the maximum is 9-3/4&quot;.&nbsp; But it can be made longer simply by making the all-thread rod longer.&nbsp; The plexiglass is about the same hardness as the slabs to minimize the chance of scratches.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I need to come up with one that will go less than 4&quot; but that will be more involved and require more work than the 2 hours I have in the solution displayed.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1538358[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1538359[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
