metal beat Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) I generally just store my newly bought vinyl on top of a couple of 2 x 4 Ikea Kallax and in the below top shelf. The just bought ones are generally on top for easier access in 3 piles against the wall and another 4 blank to put records that are being played lying flat. I have always wanted a record store type box so it's easier to flick through the records without them falling forward off the Kallax and using you gut as a wall. I stumbled across this record box @ DJ city - German company called Glorious - made in China. $49. I picked one up today and put it together. It is very strong and works a treat. I have ordered another 3 so will have 4 in a row. They also comes in white. very happy and quite cheap. https://djcity.com.au/product/glorious-record-box-advanced-110-black/ Edited December 30, 2019 by metal beat 13
Citroen Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Nice one. Must see if they are available in NZ. I used to just put a Kallax type box facing up for a record store type experience.
metal beat Posted December 30, 2019 Author Posted December 30, 2019 Cliff, they are available on ebay, so I am sure you can get them into NZ. First time ever I can flick the records forward without the danger of them falling over 1
Citroen Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Postage and 15% GST doubles the cost if bought from ebay! Found a store only about 3 kms away that sells them Edited December 30, 2019 by Citroen 2
analog brother Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 nice one, shane! you won't need to go into a record store no more - just need to sprinkle some dust over the top to get the full effect merry festive season! 2 3
Hydrology Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 I was looking at bringing them in from a (different) wholesaler in Germany with a view to onselling to retail, but stupid pricing by the time they land forced me to reconsider. 1
LogicprObe Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Nice....................but you should be saving your money for your future car servicing. Bill Buckle is doing it tough! 1
agentorange2 Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Great find , thanks for the heads-up. 1

josh0571 Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Great looking set-up @metal beat! How many LPs can you fit in one of them?

Metal Beat, are you in danger of filling up the top shelf such that a bigger IKEA Kallax is required? Then those great little boxes will be getting higher. I've just invaded my sons room for excess record storage (and now excess stereo system). I am relieved, as I was getting a bit peaky, having filled up my storage in the living room. Now I can relax for a while. I store my recent vinyl purchases (or to be cleaned vinyl) in this case that was a birthday present. 2

In the advertising, it says 110. They would have to be 110 12 inch singles. Lots of albums are now doubles. I would say realistically 50-60 while still being able to flick thru them essily.

When I run out of room here I move any albums out of the music room to the real record storage at the back of the lounge room. Edited January 9, 2020 by metal beat 4 2 1

There is always someone crazier / less crazy than yourself. 99% on Discogs. my daughters are looking forward me dropping dead so they can sell my vinyl for lots of $$ Little do they know when that happens, vinyl may be worth a lot less.

Strict alphabetical with a section for soundtracks, various artists and classical . You may notice some albums are pulled out in the main storage. This makes it easier when putting the records back.
