[78-L] Record Storage advice needed for disabled person.

[Ron L'Herault]

Can't speak to the shelves Bill, but I know that if you get a ladder your
wife won't have to climb on your back to get records.

Subject: [78-L] Record Storage advice needed for disabled person.

I am a disabled person and I am in need of a way to store my records (mostly
78 rpm) so that I would have access to them and keep my wife off my back.
Currently I have some on shelves some in binders and some loose in sleeves.
I have many more in plastic milk crates in a closet.  Because of this I only
have access to a small amount of my records.

I have about 900 - 1000 records so it is not a large collection although if
you asked my wife you would think I owned a million or more and the
collection is too big for our small home.

I was thinking about buying black wood shelving and replacing the partial
board shelves with 2 x 10 lumber. I wanted the 4' high shelves so I could
reach the records when I am in my wheel chair.
I also thought that with the shelves being just 4 feet high that I would be
able to use the top to display my different wind up players and some of my
other items.

I need to know if anybody has done this and are the shelves strong enough to
handle the load? I am concerned about the sides of the book case not being
strong enough to handle the load.

Thank you

Bill
