The record ejector is indeed a nifty gadget. I have a pooley record cabinet which has a similar feature. There's a vertical slider which moves horizontally, indexed by a notched metal rail. You stop in front of the slot where the desired record resides, then depress a button, and a finger behind the disc edges it out through a felt- lined slot in the slider. Two rows, one each for 10" and 12." Come to think of it, i have one in oak, and one in mahogany which is stored because it needs restoration. it could be available for a nice price if any of you is interested. and OMG, here's the patent: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4108511.html http://www.google.com/patents? vid=USPAT4108511&id=n-40AAAAEBAJ&dq=4108511 -- peter On Dec 18, 2006, at 5:01 AM, bruce78rpm wrote: > That is an extremely desirable unit since it has the very unique > "record ejection" system that I have only seen one other time in > the home of an elderly collector who lived down in Plymouth, Mass. > Certainly an extremely nice Columbia to add to a collection.
