My son has a new found hobby, he is collecting and listening to records, yes the old 33 1/3's. He has bought a bunch of old albums, his gal has indicated to me that he "wants" a cabinet to store these in. Does anyone have an album handy they can measure ? I am going to build a tiered cabinet for him for Christmas. Thank you

I have in excess of 3000 vinyls. The exact measurementsare 12 3/8 x 12 3/8. 15" x 15" is just about right as you want a little manipulation room.
The photo is of my speaker system. For reference, the large black cabinets are 7'long x 3' high x 3'deep.If your son really wants to get into the vinyl there are a couple of tricks he should learn ...like how to clean them well, and making sure the cartridge is aligned, and the needle in good shape. Otherwise you can ruin good albums in just a couple of plays.
FYI, a good analogue(tube) system with vinyl, will make you use your cd player for target practice. If he really wants to learn, PM me and Ill give you my email to give him. Im honored to answer any questions he might have and offer advice earned by 30 years of experience and mistakes.

Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way - on Vinyl..
Put that on and listen to it - MAN...the drums, the guitar, the bass..
I think my last vinyl was A Flock of Seagulls in 1982....
Elton John, The Who, Moody Blues, SteppenWolf - wish I still had all those!
