My most played records are stored in the drawers of my Amberola 1A. I have essentially reserved 2 drawers for Blue Amberols, 1 drawer for other 4M records, and 1 drawer for 2M records.
The bulk of my cylinders is in cabinets with each drawer labeled with a record type and number range, e.g., "Blue Amberol 1501-1999". The cabinets are modern, not made for cylinders, and therefore don't have pegs, which means that there's no easy way to find a specific cylinder within a drawer.
I've thought about putting them in order like that but when a new group is added or some are removed everything would need to be rearranged. My other idea is to label each cabinet, Make a list of cylinders by title alphabetically and list cabinet and drawer or shelf. That would at least narrow the search down. When adding a cylinder or removing one, I can just update the list. Ideas?
