Set of Recycled LP Record Coasters

June 25th, 2008 by Ally in Eco Gadgets, Retro Gadgets

If you have a thing for vintage technology, these coasters are a great way to show your love for old LP records. Granted you could just pick up your own favorite records from the local thrift shop, that is if you don’t have your own already. However, having a cold drink, dripping with condensation will end up damaging the label on the top. These particular records have been laminated on both sides to prevent that from happening. Now if you happen to find a way to do the laminating yourself, it’d definitely be more fun to just pick out your own LP records.

It looks like the titles will vary, so if you’re easily flustered by music outside of your tastes these coasters might not be a good idea for you. Having a coaster featuring a band you truly loathe would take a bit of the fun out of it. However, if you’re just more interested in the vintage look and being environmentally conscious this is the way to go. Each set has 6 different coasters and is being sold for $19.65 per set.

Here honey, let a geezer help you out.

See the small hole? that would indicate that it was either an LP (Long Playing) or 78 rpm record.
If one attempted to make their own coaster using an LP or 78 rpm record it would humongous.

OTOH, if one used a 45 rpm record, there would be a humongous hole in the center where the condensation would leak.

So spend some damn money - these are cool.
(I have nothing to gain from you parting with your money.)
