    I do have a boombox wall, but i like it more and more to mix up my vintage tech. It makes the display more exciting because it takes more time to absorb everything you see.

    I spy Panapets and and I guess the red Panasonic is an 8 track player.

    What is the vertical turntable ?
    I don't recognise that one.

    The vertical record player (with cassette and radio) is the Mitsubishi x7. I love vertical record players :) Also have the Technics SL V5, Sharp V2000, V2500 and V3000. All in the category 'they don't make that kind of stuff anymore'

    I have wondered what would have happened if CD hadn't taken over. I could imagine a record player something like a Sharp RP117 but much thinner

    I too like unusual record players. I have a VZ2500 (awaiting restoration) a Technics SL5 and two Sony drawer loaders, but still find the Sony PS-FL77 tempting.

    Maybe the visual interface and two side playability of the Sharp RP117, compact design and build quality of the Technics SL 10 and biotracer tech from Sony :)

    Nice TooCool4 :). I have the Essential Electro box (so it's not the Crucial album on the photo) and most Street Sounds Electro and Street Sounds Hip Hop Albums. Looking for 6 and 7. And dreaming of having them on cassette but the prices are sky high. Also on the photo: LL Cool J albums Radio & Bad. You can't have ghettoblasters and turntables without the vinyl and cassettes :)

    Magnotron I did see the LL Cool J, but since I do not have it I did not name it. Got the boxset of Essential wrong.

    I do have Electro 6 & 7, if you want to see all my music click this link to have a look. If you want to search for anything in particular? On the top right of the screen, type in what you are looking for in the search box and if I have it the system will show you.

    Yes I noticed we have a similar taste in music, as you can see from my collection you can see I am eclectic with my music. If you click on any off the thumbnails, you will see the contents of that album, cassette, CD etc

    Yes the program is very good and a better interface than discogs, well to my liking anyway.
    I started using Music Collectorz to stop me buying duplicates, I can just pull up my phone and check what I am buying before I buy it.

    Thanks for the tip! Adding my Discogs collection was easy :). Is it already viewable https://connect.collectorz.com/music?folder=genre&filterValue=none#
    Nice that you can also add your copied cassettes and cd's. Working on that too.

    Magnotron you just have to make it public to allow anyone else to see it.

    Magnotron yes it works, I am looking at your collection now.

    P.S. Are you just using the free trial version at the moment?

    I wasn't looking for a 2nd one, but had my eyes open for a SL10. Then an SL10 incuding the rest of the set popped up for a very reasonable price. Had to buy it. Maybe there are more sold in The Netherlands then in Canada. I hope that you find one!
