The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I bought this from a friend and plan to work on it this fall.

It has 5 shelves, that use a common pole on which to pivot / swing out from the cabinet. Each shelf will hold 32 cylinders, that's 160 total capacity. It's dimensions are a tall 39"h x 22"w x 18"d.

I have search the internet for hours and not found a match.
Does it look familiar to anyone?

I will eventually need a door handle, escutcheon, key and interior mounted lock.

Thanks,
James.

I do like a mystery and a challenge.

Even if it remains a mystery it is what it is!

The Rockford Cabinet Company made something similar.

The Rockford No 696 looks very much like yours on the outside.

Very cool!
You nailed it.

I'm glad that you also have shown the No. 697.
I wondered altering the shelves to have a lip, so I can keep my cylinder boxes.
Glad to see that was an option.

Thanks,
James.
