Hi Arran
The 118B cathedrals are not what I would call "rare" down here in the States. Last year I acquired one with a cabinet that had a hole in one side, found - and bought - a good empty cabinet on eBay, and now I see an even better cabinet is on eBay (but I won't be bidding). I gave the problem cabinet to another collector who is going to repair the damaged side and install an 18 chassis, I think.
In the USA, in my opinion, a 118B cathedral is no harder to find than a 118B shouldered tombstone. The cathedral is the earlier of the two versions, both are from the 1935 season (June 1934 - April 1935).
