Cylinder Cabinet Question
Hi, I saw this cabinet at an antique store in New Jersey but can't find any info on it. Searches bring up Okeh info as the name is close to General Phonograph Corporation. The drawers look like there was a grid in them at one time to separate the boxes. Anyone have one of these with the drawer grids? What would be a fair value for one of these? They are asking $465. The finish is pretty good, with a little wear on the top. Sorry I don't have more pictures. Thanks

Re: Cylinder Cabinet Question
In the condition that cabinet appears to be in, $465 is a fair price, but you can always negotiate...
I found this:

If you don't buy it, please post where it is, so someone here can get it...

I saw it 9/9/21. Hope its still there and someone on the Forum can save it from being a planter or wine rack.
Also there was an overpriced worn/stripped VV-XIa and what I think is a 215(?) with a Neutrodyne radio installed for around $250. There wasn't any data plate I could see
