It’s the real deal. I’ve had probably a dozen exactly like it over the years. It’s worth the $100 just to keep a machine off a shelf...

I use to sell tubes in lots of 100. They are made from 1 ½” (ID) by 36” mailing tubes. The 36” tubes are the cheapest. You cut them in 3” lengths getting 12 pegs per tube. You can get buy the mailing tubes at Staples. The 1 ½” end caps I buy from Pyro Direct in lots of 100. Here is a link to there website. https://pyrodirect.com/Category/papertube_plugs

Hope this info helps. They are very simple to make. I use Elmer’s clear glue on the end plugs. One more hint, I use a 1 ½” hole saw blade to clean out the old glue on the shelves.

If that cabinet was offered near me I would already be on the road. Price may be high for some regions, but around here I never see any cylinder cabinets under $350...

Buy it....nothing says that you can’t clean the glue off the shelves for now and use it without the pegs... $100 is a good deal...

You could use it without pegs or for about $60.00 you can make your own pegs as I mentioned above. Either way it a good buy.

Congratulations! That's why it pays to get several opinions. I had never seen another of this particular cylinder cabinet, but it was almost identical to a sheet music cabinet my wife has.

Just curious, were you able to negotiate with them?
