Anybody happen to have the wire rack for the inside of a c150? Also many some original storage boxes or albums? Thanks

For what it's worth, I think the wire rack is kind of useless. It just gets in the way and seems to actually reduce the amount of available storage.

The C-150 never had boxes or albums, at least not as original equipment.

If I'm not mistaken, record boxes and albums were sold by third parties that were designed to fit inside the c150 wire rack, but I assume they would fit just as well without it

The C-150 rack has 4 vertical elements, which, with the adjacent sides of the cabinet, form 5 perfectly-dimensioned slots for the Edison-supplied dark blue cardboard record boxes. We had a thread on the boxes sometime not that long ago if you want to poke around for it.

I cannot imagine how the rack would NOT have been designed for use with these specific boxes, because the slots are too wide for conventional albums (which don't work well with Diamond Discs anyway).

I also cannot imagine why any third party would have gone to the risk of creating such a niche item. I really think it's original Edison equipment, along with the boxes.
