Ron,

Which of the two types are the ones considered valuable?

There are several configurations of these tower file cabs. Some have file
or smaller drawers that pull out while others have dividers for holding file
folders on shelves. This kind is VERY popular with the medical profession.
Dentists, in particular, LOVE these file cabinets. They're used as office
dividers as they are accessible from both sides. They sell for around 2k
per unit. Next time you see some cheap like that, you may be looking
opportunity square in the eye. I've sold two for $750 each but I'll keep my
others for ME, MEW, HSM, PIM, etc. Just an FYI, if interested.
Respectfully,

I saw three of these at a recent surplus auction, and was trying to
figure out what to do with them. Sort of reminded me of those rotating
bookcases in old movies that let you into a secret passage behind a
wall.

I think they sold for about $35 for the lot of 3, probably because no
one else could think of a use, either.

it's actually an all steel cabinet nearly seven feet tall, with 28 full
suspension drawers, from the courthouse downtown. it needs reconfigging,
newton :-) in a MAJOR way.

it's called an "acme visible rotomatic". the whole inner-drawers unit
thing, with all its drawers AND their contents all turn 'within their
own radius', like a huge lazy susan...we'll be changing THAT, too (my
use for a 'spinning top-like' toolbox is somewhat limited. your mileage
may vary ;-).

apparently was made this way so people in different rooms could access
the same cards, without leaving the room, by twisting the four ton
cabinet (or some bizarre thing?)

this thing is -gargantuan-. 28 huge drawers. but i =LIKE= it. see the pix
