As for RCMs, my VPI HW-16.5 still works after 27 years. Cleaning the felt on the pick-up tubes, I've realized, is a good idea. I also bought some new Mobile Fidelity brushes and a Zerostat, despite the fact I hardly play records these days. That needs to change, as I've started buying again.

It works pretty well for me most of the time, although I’m only at about 1,000 albums.

It's an odd story. Years ago a collector was murdered and her family didn't want the huge collection. I wanted it for all the classical music box sets it contained, but didn't really want a lot of the other titles (my wife did like all the movie soundtracks though). Anyway, their position was take it all or take none. So...
I have to admit I've done a poor job at organizing the collection. I have all of my own LP's and all the remasters that I've bought alphabetized and organized on a separate part of the shelf system and I have a good understanding of the classical box sets. As for the rest, its hunt and peck.
I really need to get into it and do something about it or put a lot of titles up for sale. Selling LP's By The Pound...
