This is up for auction in Neapolis Ohio on "Good Friday" (who schedules an auction on "Good Friday"?)
Can anyone help decide if this is a factory offering or someone's clever construction? Also at this auction is a Diamond Disc A275 with a number of extra levers under the lid that may interest someone.
What is this machine and cabinet?

It looks like they have an auction every good Friday. (Annual Good Friday Auction). I've seen Edison disk cabinets similar to this, but not with a machine. Looks like a good job by whoever made it.

I recall seeing an ad for something very similar. It was made by a company that made stacked (lawyer's) bookcases. It could be ordered in the specific combination of stackable units that you wanted. It does not look home made to me.

Don't close that door with the crank in place! (*crash!*)
ps - I just found (on a shelf, 6 feet behind me) my copy of WofAP, and notice that it says these had wooden panels instead of glass. This one appears to be an exception. crash!
