Greetings! I am thinking about completing a few projects around here..... I have an Amberola 50 that is in need of the internal horn. Does anyone have any parts machines or one of these laying about? Also, it may not be economical to ship, anything close to NC or VA would be a plus!
Thanks! - Chris

You have the earlier version of the Amberola 50. From 1915-16 with an external speed control. And the earlier version of the front horn pivot.Granby wrote: Thu Mar 12, 2026 9:50 am Greetings!

I don’t know if there are any compatibility issues in horn length from year to year. The later version horn has a hole in the bottom end. It rotates on a small threaded rod. Also there’s a rubber washer to snub out vibrations.
Frow’s book goes into greater detail.
