how about people in the UK or Europe?


Chuck:

Index Card Box 3" X 5"
Fichier 7.6cm X 12.7 cm
Caja para tarjetas 7.6cm X 12.7 cm
Karteikartenbox 7.6cm X 12.7 cm

Cost likely less than one pound or one euro each.

As I said, the boxes are bigger then the labeled dimensions and
take the 80mm X 132mm MF slide mounts easily. Try before you
buy.

Are you referring to 132mm wide mounts or 140mm? Obviously the 140mm
mounts would not fit in 130mm boxes. The Chinese boxes I was referring
to were for 140mm plastic mounts. For 132mm mounts I use metal or
wooden card file cabinets. These are 135mm wide inside. I also have
one 155mm for plastic mounts. I find these in office furniture
suppliers, usually used.

I have added a photo of these in the PHOTO section of the group
