If you were going to convert a pump to a DVD storage area, is there one that pops right to mind? Something not expensive or rare and is hinged to withstand opening and closing all the time? Thanks for your opinions!

A Wayne 60 with the hinged doors! I've seen one done and they make a real attractive storage cabinet!

A wayne 60 is definetely on my want list, but probably not going to find a "cheap" one! I like the 80 idea, should be do-able.

Use the 60, it will store 2X as many & take up the same floor space.

The nice thing about the M&S 80 is that you can open and close the doors easily with out scratching the paint...... Well to some extent anyways.

A Smithway L-1 would make a great cabinet. The bezel around the site glass is the latch that opens and closes the door and it is right in front. Brady

Are the 60's normally hinged? I've never looked at one close, maybe waiting for mine to come along would be the best bet!?

60's were either hinged or had the little twist keys on the fixed doors. I'm pretty sure that most of the frames had provisions for the hinges and the hinged type doors are reproduced, so it would be easy to convert one. Keep shopping, a reasonable one could come along any day!
