Over the years, the cost of storing QSL cards has continued to rise and =
today a two drawer 4" x 6" file cabinet can cost $50 or more. Looking =
for an alternative, I checked out the local OfficeMax and came up with =
what seems to be a viable alternative at a much lower cost.
OfficeMax currently has a sale on a plastic 6-drawer IRIS "Mega Chest". =
It turn out thst these drawers are 5 1/2" high, just enough for most =
QSLs. They are also 13' or so internal width, just wide enough for two =
rows of QSLs. Total cost for one of these 6-drawer units is now $40 - =
and each drawer holds almost as many QSLs as the steel $60 two drawer =
cabinet.
To finish off this system, I use red or orange 4"x6" file cards (two =
cards per divider, to give some strength to the divider) between each =
country and sometimes within the same country, if there are a lot of =
cards, e.g. DL, UA, F, EA, JA, I, etc. OfficeMax also has somestick on =
label tabs that I put on top of the divider cards. It seems to work =
fine.
Anyone wanna buy an old 8-high 2-drawer filing system?
