Question to all of you: How do I get 100+ LPs, 500+ 45s, some 300 CDs stored in one place, easy to get at and looking nice, my FS dont like LPs on floor and 45s and CDs in ugly boxes
My LPs are currently on link.
However, one of the guys who works for me is an auction/estate sale junkie and subsequent Ebay power seller. He came into my office this morning and says, "I bought about a thousand LPs at an estate sale on Saturday for $25. I'll sell them all to you for $50." I agreed, sight unseen. I'm going to need more storage.
So, my advice to you, Soren, is build something. You know me - that's what I'm going to do once I figure out how many of these thousand LPs I'm going to keep.
I agree with Rich. Of course the did make stereo/entertainment cabinets and shelving systems back in the day just for the purpose of storing vinyl LP's and tapes but finding a used one in good condition might be a stretch. Building one yourself will give you exactly what you want in the allotted space per your own desire.
I remember buidling several 18x18 modular wooden cubes back in the 70's that you could stack or spread around like end tables all out of pine boards.
I also helped my brother in law build a storage space/stereo center using plywood strips painted red as shelves and concrete cinder blocks painted black as dividers. May sound a bit crude but it actually worked pretty well and didnt look all that bad when it was done. It could certainly handle the weight of all the vinyl and books and such he piles into it with plenty of room on top for his receiver turntable and casstte deck and TV.
It looked and functioned better than those cheap particle board piles of crap billed as "entertainment cabinets" that were starting to become all the rage (and still are) being sold at the big box stores now.
Use your imagination and make it happen.
