Ficklefingers Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited May 21, 2014 by FickleFingers Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Stockholmsoulfox Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 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 https://www.blackaacoustics.co.uk/flight_standard.htm Cheers Pete Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Pointman Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 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. https://www.zoinksrecords.com/category.sc;jsessionid=83018D87F4E22CD1D8DAC42C7FBEAE43.m1plqscsfapp06?categoryId=32 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

hipshaker 05 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
hipshaker 05 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 and i should have said, the ones in the pic are around 60 or 70 LPs and 150 singles I think. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Biggordy Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 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! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Driveller Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 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. 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 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
