Jbeats Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Gday, I’m sure I’m not alone on SN in having a bunch of TT cartridges, well, just sort of laying around... I haven’t yet worked out a decent way to store them. Sooooo, some are in one box, some another, another a drawer, another couple an old jewellery box, a door stop (jokes!) and luckily then a couple in their original boxes. You get the message. The worst are those without guards as I just know it’s only a matter of time before an errant sleeve catches a cantilever and snappo! $100-600 later... Question is, can anyone out there share a cool DIY or otherwise method for neatly/safely/stylishly storing their cartridge collection? Any pics would be helpful! While on the topic one that includes headshells is even better[emoji106]
Citroen Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) I have this but have seen this on the net which looks easy enough to DIY. Add a cover like this and you're away laughing. Edited January 3, 2018 by Citroen 2
Jbeats Posted January 3, 2018 Author Posted January 3, 2018 Nice storage idea aside that is a very fine lineup of cartridges you have there my good sir [emoji108]The cored timber will work well. I’ll have a think about how to incorporate carts with no headshell.

Even cheaper for the four head version. There are a number of larger and smaller options on their listing . This one is quite nice. I made up something similar at the weekend but with out a lid. Not sure if I would have bothered if I had seen these. Edited January 9, 2018 by EV Cali

Find a suitable sized box - a jewelery box may be the right size, or something from an op shop. Then buy appropriate thickness foam from Clarke Rubber - get the grey "medical grade" stuff. A thin layer goes on the bottom and in the lid. Then a thicker layer for the bottom and the lid - these have cutouts for the cartridges/headshells. The grey medical foam is easy to cut with a trimming knife.
