Re: Does this look like an Amberola to you?
I think you’re right—it looks like someone with a little woodworking skill threw the guts of another phonograph into a case of their own devising. It’s definitely one where “a unique and rare machine” (as is oft seen on eBay) would actually be truth in advertising!egambino wrote:This looks hand made to me!
Plus, it has a very fetching all-capitals description.
