moving a ton of vynal

hey...I really DO like my vinyl, but moving from one house to another is a pain in the a�� (or back).

got them in my new basement for now:

that's about 3/4 of my collection.

I will post an update once they are in my room, got a really nice shelf for them:

That is a poop load of vinyl...
Not much else to say but wow... I dont think I would ever get that much vinyl, Im too much in favour of the convenience of a digital library.

Posted by djdawn on Jul-10-2006 09:59:

Nice

Indeed. Been meaning to get one myself.

Or just play the DJ's version of "52 Pickup" when it falls over..

that is IKEA's "Expedit" indeed. link

it comes in 2x4, 4x4 and 5x5 (as pictured = 149 US $).
the recommended weight for one box is not more than 12 kg (26.4 lbs) but I tested it in the store and I'm positive it will carry all my babies , the horizontal boards are one-piece, so there shouldn't be a problem.

I'm really looking forward to having that next to my decks. about 1000 of my records were unaccessable in the basement for the last few years

I WILL wall-mount it for sure

and those shelves will definitely fit a 12"?
Need some major extra storage and there is an ikea not far from me.

Posted by djdawn on Jul-10-2006 16:42:

sure, already tested that!#

fits perfectly with a little air in all directions

Posted by Freak on Jul-10-2006 17:07:

Sorted.
Will pick one up tomorrow

Posted by Tony Morello on Jul-10-2006 19:38:

i'll have to grab one of these myself too

Posted by l�cid on Jul-11-2006 16:12:

i IKEA.

i wish i had a reason to buy one of those shelving units. i've always liked them, especially in white.

Posted by RJT on Jul-11-2006 16:13:

w00t! Thanks for helping me figure out real easily just what shelves I have to go buy next month for my new place!

Posted by djdawn on Jul-19-2006 04:17:

getting there, I already LOVE it!!!

still need to do some final sorting and add about 200-300 records.
