Record storage/cabinet?

[Icehawk]

I figure this is the most likely area to hit up some folks who might have ideas/solutions - I have a moderate collection of records that I need to store. I don't want to use crates or the like, my preference would be a small cabinet or similar - I have cats and they like to scratch crates and the exposed records When I was younger and records were still popular I remember lots of stereo cabinets had special sections for records with slim dividers and such. Anyone make something like that still?

Thanks!

Gothic Cabinet Craft is where I bought mine.

Hi,

those look good, can you stack them?

Todd sells some pretty nice ones here:

I know, I know, they're technically "crates", but they don't really act like it. There's an image floating around Head-Fi of these filled with records. They act just like shelves!

And yes, these are stackable. Give Todd a call.

Per Madsen Design Rackit system- Very elegant OAK units that store all formats. Stackable. EXPENSIVE. Highly versatile. You get what you pay for! I use them for LP's, CD's and Cassettes. Fits into our living room with OAK floors.

I've got four of the 4x4 Ikea Expedit bookcases lining a wall in my place. Work very well and are amazingly cheap for thier consruction. I have around 8k records in them with plenty of room for expansion. No sign of warping etc. which is better than I expected for 99 dollars. They make some smaller ones as well.

I recently bought one of the smaller Expedit bookcases. I wanted a bigger one, but none of the open portions of walls in my apartment were wide enough, and I wasn't about to go move everything around. It was easy to build and pretty deccent construction for what you pay, as stated above. I plan on getting another one as my vinyl collection gets larger.

I, too, am planning on purchasing one. However, space is at a premium. Can anyone tell me approximately how many LP's the bookcase is capable of holding? I'm hoping the 2 X 4 one will hold 1,000.

JMT,
I hate you, or almost. Very few things am I jealous of in life but those SOB who have more vinyl than me are one. I have around 900/950 LPs'.

The problem with your record storage is that your head needs to be at right angles, which it is'nt.

I intend to build shelving like that in record shops, where the albums face you - square on and at a height that does'nt do your back in.

Fair enough.
