Replacement For Per Madsen's Rackit Record Storage System!

By Michael Fremer • Posted: Oct 17, 2012 • Published: Oct 18, 2012

When Per Madsen decided to retire a few years ago, thousands of record collectors wished him well but with great sadness. One of the sturdiest, most attractive and convenient record storage systems would no longer be manufactured.

Fortunately Madsen said what he'd invented wasn't really patent-able and that if someone wanted to copy it and start manufacturing them again, they were free to do so.

Now Jef Fowler of TwoCan HiFi is again making them out of sturdy, solid oak. Based on what they look like, they are an exact duplicate of Madsen's racks. A single modular rack holding about 100 LPs costs $59.95. There are other accessories available just as Madsen offered including a dolly, a base and a top, among others.

Check them out at TwoCanHiFi.

I'll soon be ordering some and I'll let you know how they stack up (sorry, couldn't help myself).

Although there are chances of employment there, the hazardous atmosphere of the industrial area discourages people to go for employment there.

Submitted by deckeda on Fri, 2012-10-19 05:11.

Presumably you are referring to the EXPEDIT units. I'm currently using a 2x4 model laid down, and next to a 2x2 model but I need more space.

Remember kids, if you use the large 4x4 model, orient it after assembly such that the LP's shelves are supported not by pegs but by the short boards running vertically (i.e., horizontal boards run continously all the way from L to R). Orient it the other way and the whole thing will break and fall down one day!

The photo in this blog entry shows what will happen if you position the 4x4 model "wrong" : http://thevinylanachronist.blogspot.com/2011/03/for-all-you-using-ikea-expedit-shelving.html

Note that the commentary blissfully ignores the issue of the orientation being wrong, it just damns the whole EXPEDIT product unecessarily. Nevertheless, be wary of only spending $100 to store several hundred dollars (or more) worth of LPs, not to mention your health.

Years ago Stereophile recommended STEN shelves and TOTTE boxes from IKEA. I still have several of the TOTTE boxes. Amazingly sturdy.
