radiatorhums Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I'm running out of space for mine, they're currently filling a shelf with some 10"s. Anyone have a good shelving solution for cassettes? Preferable something readily available and cheapish. I'm thinking something like this : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=201048536926 But I'm wondering if you guys have any alternatives. I should probably take a walk down to Value Village and see what they have lying around too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see if I can find something similar when I hit the store later tonight and see if they'll fit my needs. Thanks for the suggestion!

I should probably take a walk down to Value Village and see what they have lying around too. Those wooden tape holders are great. If you scour thrift stores you can find them cheap now and then. I have three of them and I don't think I've paid more than 3 bucks for one. Tapes are such a pain in the ass to store though. I have all my punk;/hardcore demo tapes and whatnot on those wooden shelves, and I have a big plastic spinner full of black/death/doom metal tapes. Unfortunately, the bulk of my tapes, noise/ambient/synth/etc... do not have a legit home. They are all on a shelf in a closet. I'd like to get or make some kind of card catalog type thing that fit cassettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thanks for the feedback on storage guys! I cleaned out the drawer that's under my cassette deck and it seems to be a pretty good area for storing them right now. I think this will do until I can find a one of those wooden tape holders at a thrift store (kurtz style). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG88 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 ^ marnie stern demo, nice! plus the conan soundtrack....what a collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Let's have everybody show off their tape set-up/storage area! Top deck is a fantastic-sounding Sony TC-WE605S that I repaired. Bottom deck is an Onkyo TA-2017 that I never fully repaired, but it works if I jam a Q-Tip in the play button. Both were found at Goodwill for $4.38. Storage drawers were also bought at Goodwill for $2.38 a piece. I also have a really nice Napa Valley Box Company cassette rack, but I have no room to put it anywhere, so I'm rockin' the drawers for now.

IG88 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 i'm in. cassette collection thus far, minus my hell - trilogy boxset, which does not fit in this unit. plenty of doubles with jonrawks. i went for the benno dvd tower which, while being a bit pricey, matches the expedits in my place. figured what the hell. plus it has enough space for all my cds in the top half of it. win win. deck is a naki rx-202. it's by no means their top of the line, but it was practically brand new when i got it, and was only $50. i'd never get any other brand name after my experience with this puppy.

topher Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Jealous of that Palms tape, both of you. Wish I had jumped on it when I had the chance. Also, that Nakamichi is a beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of Breath Records Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm pretty confined to listening to my tapes on a broken Walkman, which I sometimes hook up to speakers with an aux cord. I know pretty weak, but I see a bunch of decks at thrift stores but I honestly don't know which ones would be the best. any brands of or tips to figuring out a good quality deck (if it works)?

Nakamichi's are probably the best, but I don't know how often they pop up in thrift stores. Mine is a 90's era Sony, which I love. Higher-end Onkyo's are great, but I would avoid mid and lower-end models. But if you're upgrading from a walkman, you'll notice an improvement with almost any deck. But, to be honest, I have NEVER seen a tape deck at a Goodwill that wasn't completely non-functional due to lack of belts. New belts are mandatory if you're gonna buy used. Afterwards, though, you'll probably have a great machine with not a lot of money invested in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Super jealous of that ISIS demo tape. I haven't seen one for sale in a few years (and am kicking myself for not buying it right away). If you ever feel the need to part with that, let me know! That's a gorgeous Nakamichi by the way. I have a DR-3 and I love it, but yours makes mine look like a toothless hobo.

I love a Nak and have had more than my fair share of them over the years, the 202,303 and 505 have always been special to me with their unique take on auto reverse. I had a 303 and a 505 at different times and both were always know in our house as flipper. The only other brand I have found to surpass them is Revox/Studer, that said I've never owned a Dragon or any of the other really high end ones but others I know that have agree on the Revox/Studer superiority just. Sadly I am Nak free at the moment save a poorly BX150 so am obviously jealous but am always on the look out for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
