1910 – Amberola - 1A in quarter sawn oak. *SOLD*

Post by Zwebie »

1910 – Amberola - 1A in quarter sawn oak. Retains most of its original finish, although weak in some areas. I have cleaned the cabinet with Gojo and a coat of wax. The very top had damage and has been refinished to the best of my ability to match the rest of the machine. The bedplate appears to have been excellently restored sometime prior to my owning it. All numbers match! The motor runs great in both 2 & 4 minute mode. The horn elbow is from a mahogany machine, I have thought about re-graining it in oak, but it’s not really noticeable. I have the original metal spring clips and screws for the cylinders, (they are a little rusty), but have never installed them because the drawers hold more cylinders without them installed. (The cylinders shown are not included!). Overall a wonderful and desirable example of one of Edison’s best machines!

This machine is for pick up only! (Tulsa, OK). I do not want to ship this monster, although I can deliver it to Union in June.
*SOLD*

Please PM or Email with any questions, Thanks, Bob S.

I would also consider trades for any of these machines, in comparable condition.
