It's always fun to check out new mining tools and gadgets at gold shows. Last Saturday in a couple of show booths I found a small plastic tailings tray designed specifically for the Gold Cube. Anyone who owns a Gold Cube knows that the discharge slot in lowest 'Cube' dumps the tailings into your tub and the accumulation of these tailings can be a challenge. This plastic try offers a solution as it fits snugly between the lowest Cube and the metal support stand and it redirects the tailings away from the 'cube' and into a bucket...which resolves the above problem.
Since I frequently use my Gold Cube I decided I had to have one of these plastic trays. I pulled out a ten dollar bill, gave it to the sales person told her that I wanted to purchase the tray. She said "that will be $49.95"....plus tax". I gasped...fifty bucks??? I set it down and decided I'd make one in my home shop.
If anyone knows who makes these gadgets tell them that they are charging way too much it. LD
