In an antique shop I once encountered the bottom half of an Amberola 1A/B with all 4 drawers intact - in oak. Made me sick... :cry:

Several years ago I found an advert in the Minneapolis paper reading something like. "Edison phonograph guts for sale". I called the person found out that "the guts" were for an EDISON C2 Radio Phonograph. I was even more interested to learn that the guts were still in the cabinet as were the four original albums!

The owner, a college student just a few years younger than I, had decided to install his modern turntable and amp in the cabinet. Of course I begged him to let me buy the whole thing. I said I'd even try to find him a more suitable, cabinet for his stereo as part of the deal.

He would not be swayed. In the end I got the chassis, motor board, turntable, speaker, tonearm etcetera along with the four books... :(

This one was probably easier to 'amputate':

Alas I expect more than a few A100's wound up that way because of those spindley legs.
