The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

My grandson retrieved my spare mahogany Amberola 1-A lid from the attic. It is a late 1-A lid. The dimensions are:
21.5" wide (outside measurement)
22&⅞" long (outside measurement)
19" wide (inside measurement)

It is 5" from the divot for removing the cylinder to the inside of the cabinet. I will post photos of the lid shortly.

Thank you for taking the time Jerry. Those measurements sound too big, but I look forward to the pictures.

Regards, John

Here are the photos. Remember, the lid is larger, at the maximum measurements, than the lower cabinet measurements. It should fit on a cabinet that is 19" wide and 20.5 'deep. My lid is fair on the outside and poor on the inside with no decal. I have the top portion of the cabinet which mates with the lid if that helps. The lid has the piano hinge. Jerry Blais

Unfortunately, you will have to buy the whole cabinet for $300 to get it. Still, what do you suppose a lid would be worth?
