In a March 2018 “Disk-o-Tech” post, I talked about the storage of standard electronic typewriter printwheels in 3 1/2 inch floppy disk boxes:

They’re ideal, except that larger printwheels need something proportionally larger, say, a 5 3/4 inch floppy diskette box. Meet “The Super Swede Box” complete with inserts and two keys:

The Super Swede’s wide tub, lid and inserts are made of robust plastic and easily accommodate the printwheels of large office typewriters, such as those manufactured by Facit, Hermes, Sharp, Triumph-Adler, Xerox and IBM.


A simple but effective design.


The lid latches onto two solid protrusions at the rear of the bin (no potentially breakable plastic hinges):

One of the best things to come out of Sweden since ABBA and Bjorn Borg!
