   It's not really a rescue, it's a sale...this is a very large 
collection that my now-deceased uncle built up over most of his life 
starting around the time of WW II.  Lots of "firsts" (first pressing of 
Kenny Rogers' first record, etc) and several of those metal disks used 
to press records.  They're mostly 45s, but there are some 33s and 78s.  
I speak of them with disdain because I despise country music, I didn't 
like my uncle all that much either, and I'm paying through the nose for 
the storage unit (climate controlled) that they're sitting in.

   That said, my mom will take about anything she can get for them, and 
will deliver them pretty much anywhere if someone pays the delivery 
expenses.  They'll fit in the bed of a standard F-150 pickup.
