tom_hankins Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 This is the second time its been up for auction. I cant even imagine where to store all that vinyl. I'm at the point now where I need to build a room off my garage for my records. A friend of mine has about 30,000 albums and they have a huge room of there own. I'd say if I had the money I would buy something like this, but...if I had the money I would probably already own something like this. Quote
archosman Posted March 29, 2008 Report Posted March 29, 2008 Wish some institution like the Smithsonian would step up and buy this. Kills me that there's now a generation that has never heard vinyl... //don't miss the wow & flutter /// miss the warmth and quality... Quote
