Tony,

Do you have a Facebook account? If you do, you could expand your search for information there through 2 groups: the "Antique Phonograph Society", and the "Antique Phonograph Enthusiasts" groups have thousands of members.

You could post your request for images and/or advice on either or both.

Best,
Fran

Thanks Fran and Joe.

In Joe's 2nd picture is pretty much what I have on my customer's machine. I don't see a washer or anything above the yoke, so I guess nothing was there in the first place originally.

Don't forget to file the pictures away for future reference!

Thanks for responding guys!

This is my early Amberola 30. Wrong kind, I think...

On my 30 (#41597), there was no washer between the arm and the tube.

No Cliff, That is the right kind. It is a two piece speed control knob like the kind that I am dealing with. I believe that the one piece speed control knob came later before it was deleted altogeher. Thanks for posting!
