I didnt get this in the mail but I'm way too thrilled to not share.
My new display case..

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

That is a beautiful case!

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

That's intense. Did you buy it new or used?

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Nice case indeed!!!! I can't wait to see the ''after'' pics!!!

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

thanks guys. I'll fill it soon and take some pics when I'm satisfied with the setup.
that should be extremely fun!

It's been months since I initially bought the case. so it feels good to finally have it in place.

@scud80... it is used from a store in my local mall. I asked about the case (they have like 15 of them) and eventually they sold me one. I ended up having to make a new base and header at work though because I wanted to be able to put it together with just two people. it was literally impossible to put back together the way the oringal base was deisigned without the help of 4 strong dudes. also the originals were heavy as fuck, made of junky wood and old laminate. so I made new ones and just used the aluminum framing and all the glass that came with it.

I love this thing! Asked about how you managed to pick one up on flickr but I got my answer here. Although I'm amazed at the work you did on it i'm actually kind of disappointed that you had to. Goes to show there's not "right" case and you either gotta modify one or make one from scratch. (I dont have the time or skills!)

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

since I got the case for an insanely low price (for a case of this size) I didnt mind making new pieces.
I suggest hounding stores with display cases that are barely filled. it worked for me
I'll see if I can find the aluminum framing and door components online and if so, I'll draw up plans for the base and header and post them here incase anyone does woodworking or wants to have some cabinet shop build it for them. then youd just need to get the glass made.

Generic Stanton D6800EL Stylus

I had a VERY vinyl weekend.

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Not in the mail, but picked up from an estate sale...


It plays like a champ and came with a lot of about 80 Edison Diamond records

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Wow - that's a fun pick-up! 78 rpm I assume?

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Absolutely IN LOVE with this case Brent! What a beauty, can't wait to see pics of it filled up.

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

No...80 rpm, but I was told that it could (easily) be converted to play 78's.

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

thanks man, it'll be filled soon enough... I have about half of my stuff in it now, hoping to get the rest in this weekend. I have a ton of shelf room now though

 

Re: The "What You Got In The Mail That Isn't A Vinyl Toy" Th

Just got this, it's filled with great monster art from one of my favorite artists...


Appropriate for younger kids, my own kid is not interested
