I enjoyed our visit this past week and really like my purchases. Wish I could have brought home more! Thanks again.

Out of curiosity, what is the difference between the Amberola V and VI?

I see the lack of an automatic stop, and a slight difference in the upper works; but what else?

I have a V and a VI. The V has a better design motor. The VI seems to me a regression; perhaps Edison was trying to cut costs. A design flaw caused a noisy gear, so they used an aluminum gear instead to quieten it. Those soft gears wear quickly. Mine runs quiet enough, but I seldom use it. That is the first oak VI that I have seen; very pretty.
