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.

For a large cabinet, it only holds 108 cylinders. Not a very efficient use of cabinet space.
