I think we are talking about the same thing. I have seen the big Amberolas referenced by the number first and sometimes by the letter first. Jerry

:o Hope it's protected! These can be really nice (and valuable) machines.

Cabinet definitely needs some veneer work but can be rescued.
I was on the lookout for a motor for years but finally gave up. :( Whoever stole the motor also took time to destroy the grill. I love restoring these type machines but no room, just put 17 machines in an auction a few months ago.
