The Bertby - My Loose Collection

[Tank1252]

Nice collection Bollux. I'm still toying with going for the Bertby rather than Detolf for my loose collection myself...does it have to be fitted into a wall?

yes mate its wall mounted as the door over hangs slightly at the bottom.

Ok....could you hang it on a brick wall? I'm into loose vintage SW only & that cabinet looks made for them. The Detolfs have too much space between shelves for a loose collection, it'd mean i'd have to source some clear acrylic risers/steps.

yes mate it would be better on a brick wall, mine is plaster board and held on with a wing and a prayer

Ok, thanks mate. I thought it was built into the wall. Looks that way from the first picture. btw...is it just me or have all the subsequent pictures been deleted.

 

[Bollux]

yeah i must have moved them in photobucket

need to take some new ones now anyway

Hey bollux, you got your Bertby lit yet? Any ideas of which way you're going with it?
I've just picked up 3 units for the price of one (that's what a dodgy listing title will do for you). I've gotta wait 6 weeks before i can get to pick them up tho, but meh, i can wait for that price.
I'd love to see some updated pics of your cabinet mate
