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.)

Hi David:
Have you done business with these guys before? These prices seem very reasonable, so reasonable
that I'd like to make sure they are legit before ordering. The website seems non-functional
except this catalog PDF, but that could just mean they're an old-school mom and pop shop. Their
sleeve and package prices seem a little bit lower than the place in Rochester.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] Boxes for album sets
I've finally found a source for boxes for album sets! Not the shipping boxes, but replacements
for deteriorated box sets or for orphaned discs that never had a box of their own, library
discards etc. CABCO has 'em. See page 4.

They also sell steel needles!
