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, Tim Fabrizio phonophan PO Box 747 Henrietta, NY 14467

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.
