wow its been a while since ive used one of those. i had a little more stylish ones we bought from kmart or target.

i cant remember but i know its better not to fill it so you can dig thru your collection while playing.

it's not for me, and only for storage purposes.

the only reason i wouldn't fill one is because I know it will be effing heavy :)

edit: temporary storage

yeah it use to take 2 of us when we were youngins and we'd cart them on our skateys.

once i had boxed my vinyl and left home, one crate became my computer stand and the otherone as a boot organiser

i'm not 100% sure as i never used on of these back in the vinyl days (had a hardcase) but i reckon you would fit around the 70 mark.

hard to tell from that pic too as there is nothing else in the photo to give you a good idea of size.

ive found that some dont even fit records ?

you have to angle them in?

design flaw?

or maybe milk company realised what people were using them for and made them a bit smaller

don't know how true it is, but that's what i heard. they changed the shape so people would stop knocking em off

I know down in Melbourne that they are no longer Vinyl friendly size. I swiped a few one morning walking home very drunken... only to find in the morning that they wouldn't fit.

A mate speculated that they come in different sizes, but I only needed them for some sorting and selling of old records so didnt bother finding out.

Check out Ikea - they usually have some cool plastic boxes that will fit them. Or even Big W/K-Mart! Just take a record sleeve in for measurement :)

yeah as i said im pretty sure ours was from k mart (though it was many many many years ago when a lot of yer parents were probably teenagers).

and it has a solid bottom and no holes on the side. so over the years ive used it as a bucket, as a seat, as a record holder, as a computer table, as a boot organiser, as a basketball ring...

i returned one to my parents a couple years ago, and an old room mate took the other one so it still lives!

they are all the same size, the different sized bottles are just made to fit less in

ie. 2L can fit 9 in a crate

3L can fit 6 in a crate

I worked at IGA for 4 years... lol

i worked at an IGA for 18 months. NEVER doing that again

I think i'm just going to have to flog some from the corner store or the supermarket and see how it goes
