WANTED - Amberola 75 or (preferably) 1B

[winsleydale]

Hey y'all.

I've got a beautiful Edison Standard D with a No. 10 Cygnet horn and a Diamond B reproducer, and I love it, but the kids aren't nice and I'm afraid the machine or horn is gonna end up damaged. I'm hoping that one of you fine people would entertain a trade for a decent Amberola 75.

I'm not up and up on current values, but if what I have mentioned doesn't cut it, I also have a Home B I can offer - it's been refinished, but it's been upgraded with a 2-4 minute mandrel and gear (I do have the original mandrel) and (this is the cool part) a 2 AND a 4 minute recorder.

Lastly, I have a Morning Glory horn I can add in, and a small black and brass horn in mid condition.

None of my stuff is showroom shiny, but it's all good stuff. Decent cabinetry, maintained mechanicals and rebuilt reproducers and recorders.

I'd truthfully really love to have an Amberola 1B, but my middling trades likely don't support it. Oh well. I trust you lovely, honest folks will tell me if I'm wrong!

Finally, if anyone has a nice 1B, I would also consider pledging my very nice, but not perfect, Victrola VV-XVII in Mahogany, which includes both an Exhibition soundbox and a No. 4, both rebuilt.

I'm in the Metro Detroit area. Hope to hear some good news!
