   And what serious Vinyl collector doesn’t own the Ronco Record Vault?

The Ronco Record Vault is a safe for storing vinyl records, manufactured by Ronco. The vault can be opened with a one-digit combination.

In the 20th century, Fry owned one, which he kept in his basement. His combination for the vault was 3. Examples of records Fry kept in the vault were Huey Lewis and the News' 1983 album Sports and the soundtrack to the 1985 film The Breakfast Club. He also kept his lucky seven-leaf clover within the vault, hidden in the sleeve of the Breakfast Club soundtrack.

It is possible to break open the safe without actually knowing its combination; Fry's brother Yancy broke it open by using Doh-Doh as plastic explosive.


Ron Popeil also hawked a cordless electric record vacuum. I never tried them but "They made great gifts."
