My Dads Record Collection series 1 trading cards

artomat vending pack

This is the packaging I made up for single pack sales via Art-O-Mat machines.  They asked for one sample, but I made up three to send them.  Dimensions are slightly smaller than standard trading cards, since they have to fit into a 2-1/8″ by 3-1/4″ by 7/8″ package.  Still made like the regular cards, with wax paper wrapping, but more like the original tabacco trading cards.  I’ll send them with the paper work to Art-O-Mat tomorrow.  Got my fingers crossed.

Shrink wrapping 2nd wave boxes

filled boxes

All opened wide, filled with fresh packs.

shrink wrapping

Our new library rack works great for moving boxes around.  Got a new roll of shrink wrap that is thicker, and of a stiffer plastic.  Makes a tougher package.

Visiting JBs lair

JB's lair

I dropped by my friend JB’s lair last night- it was his birthday.  I think I caught him as he was persuading a stick of DRAM to fit into a DDR slot.  We mash up discarded computer components to make up donor machines to give to those who need one.

Our new manual stack cutter arrives

stack cutter delivery

Happy day, we just got a vintage paper stack cutter delivered.

challenge 19 inch stack cutter

A beast, weighing hundreds of pounds.  Made by Challenge, a 19″ cutter.  Not sure of it’s age, it is kinda timeless in technology.  The long horizontal arm is to raise and lower the cutting blade, the round wheel on top raises or lowers the stack holder.  Kind of like a first date- exciting, full of possibilities, and could maybe hurt you.  We’re going to use it for small test runs, trimming, and odd projects.
