SOLD: Large Cylinder Record Wall Display/Cabinet

I posted this a couple of months ago at a higher price, then wavered over whether or not to keep it. I really like it but my spouse is not as fond, so I'm offering it again, for quite a bit less...

Here is something that doesn't turn up too often, a custom-made cylinder cabinet, with room for 165 boxed cylinder records stored and displayed in individual slots behind sliding glass doors.

It came from the estate of a family which had run a California general store that had remained in operation from Gold Rush times until the late 20th century. This cabinet was a custom replacement of the store's original cylinder record sales display, probably done in the 60s or 70s. The family kept it in their home after the store closed as a means of storing their record collection in a quaint and familiar way.

Thus, it's something in an old format but is not that old itself. It's very well made, solid and tight, super convenient, and quite attractive. As you'll see in the photos below, it has 11 columns of 15 round slots sized to perfectly fit standard cylinder records in their boxes. It measures about 44" w x 78" h x 8" (rounded to the nearest inch) so it's something that takes up a pretty good piece of wall but does not poke out into the room very much at all. The two glass sliding doors ride in metal tracks top and bottom, and each has one of those little "handle" indentations cut into it for ease of opening.

It's solid wood (not veneered) and thus is pretty heavy, and so it needs to be picked up here in the San Francisco Bay Area. The only way I'll ship it is via whatever blanket-wrap arrangement the buyer can send to our SF area home for pickup...or our reliable friend Jerry Blais is likely to be willing and available to carry it to the LA phono show in August or the Union show or points between.

Have a look - it's really cool. As usual, the sideways photo syndrome seems to be happening here, so click the shot and it should right itself.

Really wish I had a way of getting this down here!

If you can get to Union, I bet Jerry can get it from here to there.

As much as I want to go, I only have one week of vacation left this year and it’s planned around my sons birthday.

I was really hoping to go this year!

Sadly, we couldn't get it to the buyer, and so it's available again.
