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! John Robles

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??
