Re: [ARSCLIST] Spacers for 16" electrical transcriptions

[Richard Warren <richard.warren@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

You might consider the heavy card metal-edged boxes available from Gaylord
or Metal-Edge for 16" discs. They are about 3 inches wide and not too heavy
even when full.

I'd recommend staying away from Styro- or other types of foam: they might
exude harmful gasses, decompose, or manage to stick to and ruin the
records, as those yellow-decaying-to-brown foam squares used to do (used by
ACharlin, DGG, Philips, and others inside LP jackets..
