Yes, indeed!

Also, what kind of "room" can house 15000 78s, where they are not stacked up in dense rows of boxes?

How many collectors keep their collections on shelves in warehouses?  I know of two, one in Frederick Maryland and one in York Pennsylvania.  Also, does anyone (Kurt N?) know what ever happened to the 100,000 records in the Providence RI warehouse?  To gain entry the first time, I had to wait until the associate of the person who guided me there got out of jail after he being arrested for coca*ne distribution.  (What a scene that was!)  My guide told me the 100,000 records had been in something like a third-storey walkup apartment.  The records had been stored something like 3 deep./steve
