The average present-day milk box (they were reduced in size around
1980, so LP's no longer fit...in hopes of lowering losses by theft...)
holds around 130 unsleeved 10" 78's, or about 65 pounds of shellac.
Should you be so unfortunate as to have to move a milk box of 12"
78's, you are now facing a weight of around 94 pounds...
