Rotating Cylinder Cabinet - Who Made This?
Has anyone ever seen one of these oak rotating cylinder cabinets? There are 9 rotating wooden discs inside which perfectly hold the entire record box, and each disc holds 12 cylinders, so 108 total. George, I saw something with a similar concept in one of your books, but with pegs instead of holes as I recall. Any idea of the manufacturer? I have never seen another.

I don't know who the manufacturer was for that cabinet. Pretty interesting!

It is quite well-made and probably not cheap to produce, so I'll assume that not many were sold.phonogfp wrote: Wed Feb 12, 2025 6:49 am I don't know who the manufacturer was for that cabinet. Pretty interesting!

Re: Rotating Cylinder Cabinet - Who Made This?
For a large cabinet, it only holds 108 cylinders. Not a very efficient use of cabinet space.

And then there is this one, in a period photo-
I posted about this a couple years back and no one was able to identify it-- Pretty cool- I'd love to find one like it-
