Maybe a year ago I got two metal 3 shelf library carts on wheels, to hold the manuals that were related to whatever machine I was working on at the time. Its extremely useful to have all the manuals at hand on a rolling stand when you're moving around working on the beast. I have not seen any for sale since then at a reasonable price (which I'd say is $100 or less).
I just stopped at a place here in St. Louis, and I see they have 8 of these "library/book carts" available. They are basically in mint condition, and most of them come with old red binders on 2 of the 3 shelves. The binders are interesting - these are those old ones with sort of cloth surfaces and heavy metal latches inside. All the binders are about 3 or 3.5 inch wide. A typical place I see these type of binders is in machine shops and the like, holding press setup instructions and such. The binders are old, but the carts are basically new looking. The carts are 42.5" tall, 31" wide, and 13" deep. The carts hold books on one side only, and the height of each shelf between the next is 11 & 5/8. If your binders are taller than that they won't fit ;) $75 each. Here is a link to an almost-but-not-quite-identical cart: http://tinyurl.com/huamv7e I'm buying 2 of these for myself, leaving six. I'd be happy to purchase and hold for a while if someone non-local wants some, but it's probably not economical to ship them. I could deliver one or two to VCFMW this year perhaps. J
