Ok. I'm not sure what size the ones I have are, but I'll have to look. I
know they are slightly smaller than a 33.
That would make sense. I'll certainly check around.
A number of the 78s I got are in albums. I'd still like to put them in
sleeves though, to save them from a little wear and tear. Many of the 78s
I got are loose, with about half of those in brittle paper sleeves. I also
ended up with a couple of 78s with embedded pictures, which look to be in
very good condition. I'd never heard of such records before.
Anyhow, the 78s are the least of my worries right now, since they were
never exposed to rain. I'm very worried about the 33 albums and sets, and
am even more worried about the books/manuals and 100s of HARC ham
newsletters.

I'm not
too worried about them, since they didn't get wet. I think
they are about 10", and most seem to date quite old. I also have a
large stack of home recorded 78s. They range in size from about 6-10".
Big ones are 12 inches, I think. Maybe 14. Well, we
don't exactly have many (if any?) of those in Houston
anymore. I'll do some more checking though.
There are likely dozens - they just tend to stay very hidden. Are you
thinking of 45s? I've never heard of storing fragile 78s in
wire racks...
78 racks have wider "slots".
Another thing you might do is go to the interesting record shops and ask
if they have any of the old albums for 78s - and I mean a real album.
They look like books, with each "page" being a sleeve. More than not
they have one record missing (it seems), so you could possibly get them
very cheap.
