FOUND! : One Metal Cylinder Clip For An Amberola 1-B

[Jerry B.]

My Amberola 1-B is missing one of the clips that holds an individual cylinder. Anyone have one? They are the same as in most Amberola 1-A machines.

Thanks, Jerry Blais

Jerry, I think you can make one of these. If there is a good hobby shop in your area, bring the clip to the store. Ask the clerk if they sell strips of metal. K & S comes to mind. I'm not sure if the original clip is brass or steel. You can bend the metal in the right shape, and drill the hole to mount. It's worth a try if you can't get an original clip.

Thanks Harvey for the tip. I may try that if I can't scare up an original. Jerry

Hi Jerry,
I'm pretty sure I have one. Send me your address and I will send it to you no charge.

Just recently I spotted an ad in either an old In The Groove or New Amberola Graphic from the APS archive that someone back in the 80s was making these clips. A shame nobody is now, my 1A is missing all of it's clips and it would be nice to secure a set, repros would be fine with me!
