Re: Clearing files
Thanks, looks like interesting reading...
Why are you deleting files? Just get a 1TB portable hard drive - you'll never fill it up and you can keep everything. Files are a lot easier to store than 100,000 78s...
AND they weigh a lot less.

Unfortunately I am the only one who can access the computer so when I demise so do the files , and I am also trying to liquidate the records , maybe literally if I can convert the back to shellac !

Re: Clearing files
Thanks for these files, Mike!
If you want to get rid of your hundred thousand 78s, why don't you contact the clpgs, or national library or so...? Maybe they're interested... Of course, you could try first to sell them in lots thru eBay or something. One would need an entire life to go thru them, classify them or listen to them. What a problem! I've got only 5000, and from those, I keep at home only ⅔, the rest being stored at the basement, and a little bunch at the country house. But I'm starting to think what to do with them, and I'm only 56 now. I cannot hold and manage that quantity. I'm starting to select the best ones among them, planning to get rid of the others...
