- Have done a quick search on here cos I'm after a nice record box, not a cheap run of the mill one but a 100 count one of a good quality

 

Cant find anything in search results so can anyone point me in a direction of some decent ones or provide any links

 

Would appreciate any help if you have a spare 2 minutes

 

Thanks

 

Ian

Why didn't you ask me yesterday, I"ve got bloody loads in my garage, including at least 4 really nice 100 boxes, 2 wooden, 2 metal...

Hmm.... good point - didn't think about it Pete, its for a present so needs to be or look virtually new, anything fit the bill?

 Swan flight or Blacka are really good strong boxes

Will have a look tomorrow. I"m not exagerrating when I say there are at least a dozen boxes in there.

After being put in a position that forced me to sell all my treasured vinyl 3-4 years ago I still have about 15 LP boxes (most like new) kicking around that will never be of use to me again - free to good homes if peeps either wanna collect, or live between cambridge and the north east whereby I could arrange to drop off on my regular business travels - ideally north and east of the A14 and M1 respectively plus  the A1 corridor north of the M62 up to Newcastle.. And Scotch Corner up to Carlisle!

 

If of any interest to anyone please drop me a pm to discuss/arrange.

Er, what are LP's? 

I saw the rolls Royce of record boxes,at Va Va voom.on sat being sold by Nick Brown...Hand made in highly polished walnut..200 quid a box.

a bit bigger ….. and not a box …… but i've got one of these. light and easy to carry, keeps records safe too due to the padding.

Swan flight are great, will make to what ever size and stule you want as well. 

 

I now have magma bags though, lighter and easier to carry.

I had a custom 180 count flight case made by Tony at Blacka. Absolute top quality with an excellent carrying handle.

 

They have 100 count boxes in stock at a very reasonable cost

Zoinks record shop in California is building some rather nice custom boxes for pretty reasonable prices. 

 

Been thinking about having one made but have yet to pull the trigger.

I have one, great apart from DJing with, a nightmare when pulling records up, pull a few up and then go to pull a few more up and the first lot fall back down again, have to pull them out of the box/bag completely, then there's always the chance you won't put em back,

I'm Nice

 

A mate of mine has a couple of boxes for sale. A matching 12" and 7" pair ……. looking for £90 plus postage i think:

 

 

He can also make them to order, he does about 4 different sizes from 100 x 7" upwards. I can find out but i think they are around £60 or so plus postage. great quality.

and i should have said, the ones in the pic are around 60 or 70 LPs and 150 singles I think.

Another vote for the Magma bags here.  Detachable lid too so you can have your play box and use the lid to put the records you've just played in!

 Hi,

 

Thanks for your kind comments, Kevin;

 

For those who weren't there to see, this is what Kevin's talking about:

 

 

The walnut is the bit around the edges (a heavily rippled walnut veneer that's not too common to find) - the centre panels are maple burr veneer; the handle is white nappa leather; theinlay on the top is tulipwood; the base is finished with felt to match the lining and the lining itself is antique (genuine 19th Century) silk velvet, unused deadstock from the 1890s which I had a lucky hit on.  

 

It's a hobby of mine but I can make them to order - effectively a bespoke box where you choose your own veneers and linings (I've got a wide range of both).  It takes about a month to make one and the cost is £200 (I can do a 50 size to the same specs for £120), though the one here would be 20% extra because of the antique silk velvet, which isn't cheap.   

 

Ian, If this fits the bill (it's a 100 box, by the way), then get in touch and I'll see what I can do, though if you're up against a deadline (you mention it's a present), it may be a problem getting it to you in time. 

 

Naturally, if anyone else is after something a bit special like this, PM me and I'll give you more details.  They're popular as presents, but do give a good lead-in time, as other people may have the same idea (eg at Christmas!)

 

One thing I have to make clear, though, they're not intended for baggage handlers - you need to treat them like you would your records, so if you're looking for something that will stand a beating these aren't for you.  If however, you want a kind of fine presentation box to use as a home for your fine vinyl, then this might be a good option for you.

 

All the best,

 

Nick
