The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

This is a very nice Amberola 30 in a Babson Bros. cabinet with original finish. The machine is clean and plays well with no issues. The oak 4-drawer cabinet is clean, sturdy, and all drawers are complete. The unit can be delivered to the April Wayne show or to Union in June if pre-sold. No shipping. PM or e-mail if interested.

Thank you,
Rob

Interesting - the 30 just drops down into the cabinet without modifications to the phonograph case itself?

Rob can confirm my information here but I have two of these in my collection. There is an oak panel on the rear of these Babson cabinets that was designed to be removed and the Amberola 30 (minus its crank) slides into place in the cabinet. The rear panel is then reinstalled, the crank is installed and you're ready to enjoy your Amberola 30 in the Babson cabinet.

Doug is correct. The rear panel with top trim is removed and the Amberola 30 slips into the case from the rear.
