Roger,
You might try looking for an east coast equivalent to Industrial Photo
Supply in Burbank. IPS sells old
HFC and Neumade racks for reasonable prices.
Just last week, I spotted some Neumade racks on eBay, however they were for
small reels. They were selling
for $200 each, but I'd be surprised if they get that. New these racks are
very expensive. The HFC racks that were
used in editorial rooms (non-slotted, two rail tiers) sell for about $350
new.
I'd consider getting standard metal shelving units with enamel coating, and
simply stack the cans flat like archives do. This
kind of shelving unit could easily be found in a used office supply store.
2000' cans are approx 15.5" across, everything else
would be smaller, so the shelves don't need to be that deep.
