[Phono-L] Amberola with Cabinet

[john robles]

It also came with an extension shaft for the crank. God help you if you lose it - they are almost impossible to find separately!!! They are about three inches or so long, male on one end and female on the other. The amberola crank screws into one end and the other screws onto the winding shaft.
I once had one of these cabinets, they are cool and a great way to store cylinders!

This is a Babson Bro.s cabinet, sold by mail order with the machine. It  came 
in 4 and 5 "drawer" models (see The Talking Machine, an Illustrated  
Compendium). Cheers to all,

Here  is an item I Haven't seen before. A Cabinet into which an Amberola 
Phonograph  neatly fits to give the illusion that it is all one unit, along
with 
cylinder  storage down below.  Am I correctly assuming that these cabinets were

 sold after market and were not available at Edison  dealers??
