Here is a little video of an A100 I just finished getting spruced up. First video I've done in a couple of years and am a bit rusty now, biggest issue being that the light is not very good so color is very washed out.

Re: A100 Diamond Disc Demo
Great song and well made video! I have an A-100 just like this, minus the record storage. That record storage is an added plus. Most of these I see are mahogany when I see one. Mine is dark like yours. My attachment to it is it was my first machine. Thanks for posting and sharing. Steve

Here's a picture of my A100 in Mahogany with the record storage cabinet. I think they are a very nice looking machine.

Nice video, Clay! I really like the fumed oak cabinet. And that's a great tune.
Well done,

Re: A100 Diamond Disc Demo
A little postscript. A bit of searching in Talking Machine World (November 1915 edition) and I found out that the after-market record drawer was made by Salter.
