FOR SALE: Edison Amberola V (Mahogany) - Sold

[PeterF]

I was recently lucky enough to find a very nice Amberola V in oak, which means my mahogany one is now surplus.

As experienced collectors know, the Amberola V has a very fine mechanism which runs smoothly and quietly. They were only made for a very limited time, before the fire at the Edison factory. They are excellent for listening to Blue Amberols, and include an auto stop mechanism (unlike almost all other Amberolas).

As you can see from the photos, this one has some cosmetic issues. I mainly use it for listening. It runs like a champ, very smoothly and with no flutter. It has never been tampered with mechanically, and it includes the often-missing damper spring on the flywheel. I have always felt that wood is easier to fix than metal, so the mechanics are always the first priority for me. If you want to try a woodworking project this is a perfect machine for you. Or if you just want to listen this is also a great machine for you.

If cost is a consideration, and you already have a fine Diamond B reproducer, I can sell it without the reproducer for less cost. Interesting trades are also welcome...

Please take a look at the photos and let me know if you're interested.

Forgot to mention that the machine is located in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Ok, one more bump before it goes to eBay this weekend.

Got busy and haven't listed it yet, so here's another chance before it goes to eBay. How about trades? Way more fun that way...

I'm trying to drum up entries for the Amberola V registry. I found the listing I made for one I myself sold a few years back, but can't get the serial number from the photos, nor can I find any trace of the buyer's contact info.

If you were the buyer and still have the Amberola V, or info on it, would you please post it to the Amberola V registry? You can find it here:

Thanks!
