he bought them off some old record store owner out here in the bay. damn things were heavy as shit trying to put it on the truck but theyre some of the nicest shelves ive ever seen.
used to be able to find those mini milkcrates at some walgreens/someshit
These must have been custom built for records. And they are my dream storage solution for 45s. I go into antique malls and junk shops and thrifts and wherever else hoping against hope that I'll find that little bastard shelf with 8x8 inch square drawers (7.5 x 7.5 would probably be better - that inch would be too much wiggle room) that someone needed for something along the way and no enterprising beat digger has found before me. (Not even DANTE would come into this shitsmelling place off the beaten path...) So far, I have not found any such piece of rotten old furniture, though when I do, I will surely make such a ruckus that even soulstrut will quake in its wake.
For now, I've got the 45s in a hodgepodge of storage locations. A flight case from Labcabin, berghoff beer boxes, an antique chinese toy box, and some other random stacks and boxes around the record room. It's hardly an elegant solution. I would love to find the type of thing your pal has Jinxy. if he's ever getting rid of it and wants to offer free shipping to the midwest, holleratchyerboy.

i got anywhere around 4-500 45's and i got these other boxes that they have in the back of 7=11 and i use those for the records that i use when i go out to spin and the crates i use to store at home.
man for a buck a piece you cant beat it ,
but yeah good luck on your hunt for that shelf.
i would think here in the bay area if you head up to sonoma or marin you could find something like that there's alot of wood workers up that way.
The 45s are larger than the shelves but it actually works really well. I have two of them on top of some shelves holding LPs.
Do you know the name of these shelves?? Imma check Ikeas site...
imma investigate this also esp the smaller crates I keep hearing of..
these hold 45s perfectly as well
both from Ikea
I tried to find just a stock picture using IKEA's on-line catalog, but I couldn't find it, probably because it's set up is pretty obtuse. I'm pretty sure they still make them. Sorry can't be of more help.
I may be able to gt someone to make these for me......
I have five of these along with the myriad vintage 45 carrying cases.
Dude who recommended it on facebook has already filled it up with 45s:
The other option are these small cases that I seem to find every so often and they're usually under $10 each.
Forget about those bagsunlimited white cardboard boxes. They're a waste of money imo and relatively expensive and non-protective.
