Hi Pam,
You do have a fair collection. I think an LP is 20 to 26 minutes per
side and you have 60 of them? And 150 45s that average 3 minutes? That
is 30 hours + 15 hours and the sapphire "jewel" only lasts 40 to 50
hours at best so you might wear a couple of the last records. This
assumes that all your takes are good the first time.
And the range is 100 to 8000, not hi-fi at all. Hi-fi is 20 - 20,000. If
you don't care, then . . .
