The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

This machine is advertised locally, so I haven't seen it in person, or know what they're asking for it. Anyways, does anybody know what it is? crapophone or real?

Thanks,

Looks like an Amberola 30 in a home made case to me.

Ah, you could be correct there, definitely not an angle that amberolas get photographed from very often. Looks like it's missing the governor shield and weights too.

I agree with Rich. Jerry B.

If it's near you, check it out!
It looks as if there are other parts in the background.
The fun is finding the unexpected.
