26. I have lots of loose OTR cassettes filling my drawers. Is there a better way to store these things?
Collectors with lots of cassettes seem to use just about
everything from "underbed cardboard storage boxes" to old soft drink
cases. If you want your collection to have a more "professional"
look, here is a note from Ron_B._Hare@livewire.com (Ron B. Hare)
You almost need to buy cassette albums from
specialty suppliers. Radio Shack used to carry a
small line of these and charged too much. We are in
the recording studio business, and receive catalogs
from several sources. The one I like best has
some of the lowest prices and unhesitatingly deals
with individuals and will take your credit card
number over the phone for instant shipment (in
contrast to some who require account setup, purchase
orders, prepayment, cash and other nuisances).
They have two catalogs: one for audio and one for
video. Cassette albums are available in a large
number of different styles, sizes and capacities.
The 8-cassette albums I use are CPCN.4+4M/WHT in
white and CPCN.4+4M/RBLU in royal blue. Outside
dimensions are 9 7/8 x 7 x 1 1/4 wide, so they fit
well on a bookshelf. This model also seems to cost
less per cassette than any of the other models,
though logic might lead you to the conclusion that
the larger capacity ones would cost less.
