I recently came from a trip to visit my dad where I showed him by growing 7070 album. When I got home, I discovered that one of the clear plastic pieces that slips in in front and behind the coins was missing! How that happened I have no idea. But now I need to replace it. Anybody have any ideas?

What I've done in the past is go to a local coin shop, get a small note holder, and cut it up to fit.
I am told there is no PVC in these items.

Get a non-PVC currency holder and cut what you need to size using the other window as a template.

One option is to contact Dansco directly. Dansco Corporation (323) 734-6373 4313 W Jefferson Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90016 http://www.danscousa.com/ (You won't get much out their official website...) DanscoCorp@aol.comI did this for my Eisenhower album. I purchased it and some of the slides were scratched. They sent replacements after a few months of mostly one sided communication from my part.

I've done guit a bit of business with the DanscoAlbumStore. As dsfreeworld above notes, order a blank sheet that has plastic that matches the slide loss or order the exact page. They are pretty inexpensive and quickly delivered. http://www.danscoalbumstore.com/ |

One option is to contact Dansco directly. Forget that. I've heard many people have tried Dansco for those slides. I basically use Whitman and same thing. For some reason Album manufacturers don't make or carry separate slides. According to Whitman, when I called, it doesn't pay for them to carry a supply of little plastic slides for the very, very few requests. With a lot of soft soaping type sob stories to the Whitman person I was talking to, she agreed to send me some. They sent a complete assortment of them and free. I found it odd that since they do not have any for sale, they do have some for free but that's OK with me. I too think the easiest way is to just buy a sheet of plastic at a hobby store and make your own. |

Contacting Dansco directly is an option. Like I said, I was able to successfully do it. It may not be the best option, but the OP wanted options. This is one.

I actually tried contacting dansco a few months ago for slides. They wont respond fast but they will respond. For 5 dollars you can get a set of slides for any of their albums, it just wont have a fast turn around time. By the time theyd gotten back to me Id already figured out a replacement option

Contacting Dansco directly is an option As I mentioned in that other thread linked above, I successfully did this in the 1990's. A lot may have changed since then, but still, it happened. |
