Best way to convert adjustable shelves?


I have an old vertical LP cabinet made from solid maple with 1-3/8" thick shelves, top, bottom, and sides. The shelves are 21" x 16" so they're perfect for my components.

Problem: The shelves are adjustable! My first thought was to use heavy metal L-brackets but maybe there's a better method sonically. Any thoughts?

Thanks

What type of mounting system holds the shelves?

I ask because my components are all on adjustable shelves using KV brackets and 2.5" maple butcher block shelves.
The cabinet uses recessed and flush metal runners that accept 10-24 machine screws creating the bracket. The screws are fitted with a tubular sleeve to create a straight surface. From the weight of the LPs, some of the screws have become bent, so I can't imagine using this system for components.

Thanks for the reply.
Thought about Dowles yet?

If you can keep the adj shelf stable enough to drill a small pilot hole straight thru the cabinet into the shelf so all aligns properly, I'd say go that way.

some wood caps can be inserted into the recess you'll allow for in the cabinets wall by sinking the dowle in so it's not quite up to being flush with the cabinets side or back walls. then just push in some mushroom buttons into the holes where you used dowles!

Simple... well almost... but surely not beyond being a reasonable solution.
Thanks Blindjim, that's a great and simple solution.

That's how the top and bottom of the cabinet are constructed...at least it appears to be dowles but could be screws under dowle caps.

My only reservation is that the shelves are slightly undersized (width), so there is a small gap (3/16") between the sides of the shelves and the sides of the cabinet. Also, there is no back.
