Really appreciate your videos Joe. I just bought my first 78 records earlier this month (Jan '21), so videos like yours are invaluable to a beginner like myself. Thor Kristinsson

Just found your channel here in the UK and you have a great channel, very interesting and informative. I have subscribed and look forward to the next video. Well done. 🙂👍

Thanks , Joe ! I have been collecting 78's for over 40 years . I have some in the albums that you showed , others , in boxes . I have lost some over the years because they weren't properly stored . Recently , I put most on a bookshelf as you said to do . I didn't know that there are paper sleeves available for purchase . I need to buy some new .

I have been looking for a no nonsense channel for this type information as I am really getting in to collecting 78s. I shall sub and follow start watching all of the videos. Thanks for sharing

Spot on storage info! Love the modified shelves too! I've had my 78s in tomato boxes for years. Moved a couple times with them. They're extra thick, have lids, and fit 78s perfectly.

Good info, thank you. Looking forward to your next video!

I store mine upright in thicker “disc-o-file” sleeves and in clear plastic containers so they can be moved easier. I organize chronologically and keep original sleeves with their records in clear plastic sleeves. I also keep my rarer records separate from the more common ones.

I quite appreciate this vid, having 400odd that I've yet to sort and catalogue, though now I probably will figure out a better storage other then packed in shallow foam boxes cause the milk-crates they came in were way too darn heavy let alone risky.

The thumbnail image gave me literal nightmares.

Thanks for sharing this information ❤🎉😊

Hi Joe, Great video! Would you have any recommendations on how to pack about 400 pounds of 78 RPM Records for sea freight? Thank you.

The paper sleeves has a large hole, only a minority of 10" shellacs has a label like this.

I currently have mine shelved according to record label and number. I use Disc-O-File sleeves which may be a bit pricey but are high quality. I keep an inventory on my laptop of my 1500 or so 78s.

Merci thank you it is wery interesting.

Thanks for your video. What's your opinion about leaning 78s at an angle on shelves? I have a system a bit like yours, but I'm always worried the leaning at an angle will warp them - whereas filling a 'cube' all the way up with 78s prevents them from leaning, but makes them much harder to browse through. I'd be interested to know how you deal with that. Thanks!

Hi, great video! Is it possible to find albums to store your 78s in? I have always wanted to get into collecting them but I'm afraid I'll break them or something like that.

When you are going to show something as an example make sure the camera can see more than the very top of what you're showing!

Joseph Davila i got my hand on around 80 records in books sum unplayed most likely they are older then me i am looking to get a proper 78 cartridge any recomedions ?

hi, why aren't the outer and inner plastic sleeves used like vinyl records?

Why not use Ikea Kayla's shelves on their side so records are on solid plank? Which Mono cartridge do you have on your TT? What do you do with the original sleeves that you remove?

How should 78s be stored ? Stacked flat or upright ?

Hi I just fixed an old gramophone which you call a victrola in North America, and I've started collecting 78s which I found out are the only records my gramophone plays. Most 78s I have don't have sleeves and so far I just have them in stacs. You said you replace all the the old sleeves. Do you keep the sleeves because a guy that I got some old Edison records from before I new what they were and that they needed a different type of reproducer gave me a big stack of newer 78s which he said we're one's without sleeves. So I thought ones with the original sleeves must have some sort of collectors value? I noticed your playing your 78s on a more modern electrical record player. Even though the acoustic gramophone is great for playing 78's and sounds great now I have plenty of new needles. I was thinking of possibly getting a modern record player that you don't need a new needle every time... maybe one that can play other types of old records like Edison Diamond Disks and Vynl LPs aswell. What's the best record player for 78's and are there any special considerations for playing 78's on a modern record player?

Dear sir Bollywood hindi movie 78 record available please reply

What kind of stuff do you primarily collect?

Are normal vinyl store in a same way as well?

Not on a stack, they need to be stored vertically.

Came here for good info. At :33 we see a 78 NOT rotating at 78. Then you tell me 78s were ORIGINALLy sold in albums. THAT'S not true either....they were sold as SINGLES (one sided singles, and THAT is discounting cylinders. So, I stopped the video at the 2 minute mark. can't watch the rest....my brain is hurting.

Don't talk too much Sir.....
