Amberola 75 Motor Creative Repair
Just brought home some Edison parts motors and discovered an Amberola 75 motor with some innovative repair work. The post on the winding shaft assembly that secures one end of the spring barrel shaft broke off and the repair guy didn't have a replacement for that, so he made his own. Not something I would feel comfortable using, but apparently well thought out. Pretty much the pictures tell the story.

Re: Amberola 75 Motor Creative Repair
If for someone it was what made it work... it's kind of added value, war wounds, etc. Today we have the internet and rare supplies of parts at hand, but 30 years ago... the situation was different!
