[ARSCLIST] Fwd: [ARSCLIST] Boxes for album sets

[Don Tait <Dontaitchicago@xxxxxxx>]

David --

  You might have telephoned Cabco by now concerning your question (forwarded) 
about the dimensions and capacity of their LP boxes, but having bought them I 
can testify that the 1/2" boxes will not hold four LPs in paper sleeves. The 
boxes are as wide as those formerly used by record companies for two LPs and a 
booklet of some sort (e.g. the Toscanini LM-6020 we recently corresponded 
about). Four records would require a 3/4" box.

Cabco has been around since at least the sixties..I remember getting some 
samples from them way back when. And they list a toll-free number and e-mail 
address if you scroll down.

Only question I have, which I'll ask when I phone them (presumably they're 
taking a holiday today), is whether their measurements of 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch 
are inside or outside. If a 1/2 inch box will hold four LPs in paper sleeves, 
that's what I need. The 3/4 inch boxes seem to list for the same price but I 
don't like empty space. (Like those ridiculous boxes London sometimes used in 
the fifties for ONE LP.)
