Wow!
I suspect that the original cost of that cabinet was at least equal to the cost of the machine.

Wow! I love it. What a great cabinet. Didn't Pooley make one similar but was only one section of records, not two?

Pooley cabinets look slightly similar but the selector works differently- instead of a button for each disc the selector slides left and right to retrieve the disc.

Re: Columbia machine - craigslist, Seattle area
The record cabinet is real nice, but the Phono is not as good as it looks. I had the seller email some me some pic's.It was refinished at some time and seems like someone forgot to put all the hardware back on?? All the lid support arm and hardware is missing as are the recessed needle cups, and patten plate. You would need another junker parts machine to complete this one. Most of the value is in the record cabinet which also appears to have been refinished??( I could be wrong on this)At least the decal is still on the inside of the door!
