Question:
How can I find out accurately what year my Edison Amberola’s were built?.....
Amberola 75
Cabinet Serial # SM20303
Reproducer Serial # 276505
Amberola 30
Cabinet Serial # SM67601
Reproducer Serial # 85654
If anyone can answer this it would be greatly appreciated.....
Thank You; Joe

I don't think you can.
AFAIK, you can only put them in an approximate time frame according to various features that altered throughout their build period.
Features like the position of the data plate, exposed speed control etc.

If you post some pics of the motors(bedplates)of both machines, I will help narrow it down a bit for you...
