The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

As found amberola III machine mounted in I believe a triumph case with a reproduction attachment to mount a horn. Kind of like a poor man's opera. Bedplate is in very good shape might be a good upgrade to yours or you may have an empty cabinet to put this back to it's original configuration. No reproducer, horn ,elbow or crank included. It does run smoothly. Has a small chip out of the large gear cover. Will be at Wayne Saturday parking lot and inside set up near the snack bar. Will not ship. Stephen Madara

Fascinating. I remember being told about these machines a few years ago. I wonder why he felt the need to screw it on top of the cabinet as operas are not screwed in that way. On the bottom right the bedplate should have evidence of a notch, does this have one?

I know they made up some faux operas in the 1970s but I believe they also made cabinets and name tags . I do not see a notch but not sure where to look I also have read the other threads about them.

Here are some more photos that someone asked to see the mandrel.

I am also open to trades for interesting advertising items. Stephen

Bottom right, where the brass rod is
