Hi folks,

 

Posting for a colleague who is not on the list; you can reply here and/or contact her directly with your thoughts: Tania Fersenheim, tah3@mit.edu:

 

Long shot: does anyone have a source for Kardex cards? My Kardex takes 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 (?) cards, if I am measuring correctly.  I'd love to replace the whole flippy card holder (not the technical term for that I don't think) in each drawer. The ones in my Kardex are very musty.  Any ideas? I picked it up over the winter.  It's a nice companion to my card catalog, though it has a few condition issues - primarily a mustiness in the card stock and plastic parts.  It's circa 1925, I think.  I'm thinking about using it to hold my most important recipes, or maybe photos or other fun things for people to find when they open it.

 

Looking forward to your thoughts and ideas,

 

Kim
