WTB minor parts for Amberola 1A

52089 · Post by **52089** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 2:00 pm

Looking for the following for an Amberola 1A:

Lid support bar
Cylinder box clip(s) for drawers
Screws for lid hinge
Record brush
Auto stop knob

I will of course check the usual sources if no one has these.

Also, any suggestions on touching up the maroon-ish bedplate would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,

There is really no way to properly touch-up a chipping bedplate. It would need to be redone, and the only persons who do it with the historically correct tinted shellac that I would recommend are David Teti or Steve Farmer.

Thanks, John. Steve re-did the oxidized bronze on my reproducer so I know what his work is like. I don't think the bedplate is "bad" enough for a complete redo, but I'll keep those guys in mind.

for my fireside i touched up chips and rust spots with black enamel paint and that works a charm!, just some slight un-even parts where it was touched up, maybes you could go and look for some enamel paint in the amberola's colour, not sure if its still being made though

Paint isn't a historically correct finish for an Amberola I-A.
