Van, I think perhaps that the wood cases weren't optional, per se, but
either one of two model options, as with the TC-1 and TC-2 'bench'
versus the TC-1 and TC-2 'portable' models ; or a production choice.
The IB-1 and -1B impedance bridges would not have been expected to be
very high-volume kits, but they needed a different case from anything
else in the line; and they weren't envisioned for portable use.  I
suspect it was cheaper to contract for the wooden cases rather than tool
a distinctly different metal one.

The point regarding having furniture makers readily available is also
entirely correct, and I would think weighed on Heath's decision.

Anybody who ACTUALLY knows what he's talking about (unlike me), please
help out.  ;<)
