- Absolutely! Any local department store ought to be able to provide you with
- videotape storage racks; if you can't find them in the electronics section,
- ask somebody. The ones with drawers are to be preferred over the open rack
- style, IMHO. Prices will probably run forty to fifty cents per tape capacity.
- As it happens, I've got the same problem myself at the moment. I bought a
- tape holder, overflowed it, bought a bigger one, overflowed both of them, and
- now I'm looking at this big wooden 100+ tape cabinet...which I'll probably
- overflow within the year. Some hobby, eh?
