This is another reason why I like your videos, shows you don't need latest gear to do well in fishing.

Just purchased a second hand Absolute. Found the top drawer attached to the seat was the wrong way round so stripped the seat down to change it and like you found the wooden base soaking wet and covered in mould so cleaned it all up and replaced all the rusty screws, in the process of drying the base out now

this was a coincidence , but I was just working on the same project . nice how you showed how to remove the locks. Thank you for your useful KZfaq videos

Still got your old old old box in my garage. Remember doing that up when I was an apprentice. Great vids John. Keep it up.

Thanks for your tips. Just brought a second hand Absolute white, some of the locking clips were a bit iffy and if able to purchase new ones they cost an arm a d a leg, so I used your tip and wired up the slider on the base except I used cable ties but carry some spares in case of breakag

You have done really well with that John. I am sure you will get it organised in your own way. We get used to the norm and nothing fits exactly the same

Nice project John , box came up good worth the effort. Biggest challenge will be sorting out what bits of kit you want to transfer from your old box. Hope it gets a good christening on next outing 😉 👏👏👍

Nice box, tight lines on you're next match

A very nice box mate

Well done pal get some back to black from car shop it will look like new

Interestng to see how the boxes have evolved over the years.

Good upgrade. I think you will get used to it very quickly. Good luck when you fish next match.

Hi John, would you know how to take the seat apart on the newer Absolute 36 box as I’m turning it around so it suits a Left handed person, seems Preston only make the newer boxes for right handed people.

Love the video - I have just bought a second hand absolute station black edition. Sadly on the base tray 2 of the brackets have snapped. Do you know if the mag lol bracket replacements would fit ?

Interesting video. I have an Absolute similar to yours but the large storage unit goes on to the bottom rail with a rig tray either above or below it. By moving it, don't you effectively increase the length of the legs as you said you wanted as the seat is now a few inches lower?

had one of those , to damn heavy , the check to see if the back legs have breaks in them at the bottom one good thing they wont blow over

You could easily upgrade to maglok trays it would improve it greatly I did with a original space station to the plastic clips

Hi. Have you ever changed catches on a Matrix seatbox, similar to the mag catches. The Eddie

How’s it standing up to the riggers of match fishing?

Gt85 silicone spray that's good

Wish your opening titles where average volume !!! from a deafened headphone user

I really don’t like leg systems that mark legs up like this such a shame

Most probably poor build quality
