Absolutely Outstanding Edison Amberola VIII

If you’ve seen my Blue Amberol 5000 videos, you’ve seen this machine. This is probably the best example of an Edison Amberola VIII that I have ever seen. It is truly stunning. Finish, bedplate, and playability all over the top wonderful. It has faithfully played many 5000 Blue Amberol cylinders and sounds absolutely outstanding. The Diamond B reproducer rocks! The motor is strong, the pinstriping is nearly perfect.

What else can I say. This one is a wonderful machine. If you want high-quality, rock solid dependability, beautiful sound, and a less seldom found machine don’t miss this one!
It can be shipped at the new owner’s expense, but I would rather deliver it to one of the shows or major auctions this spring. I am in the Detroit area.
More pictures upon request.

Thank you

If it was a Model “BVIII” I’d buy it.

Rich,

What is the difference between the BVIII and the VIII?

Thanks

Steve

The Edison Amberola BVIII has I solid one piece bedplate.

Rich Gordon

Thanks for clarifying that for me. Would you be able to take a photo of the whole screw that is on the bedplate? I have circled the screw in red. Thanks

I need to get a replacement one as it was missing when I bought it. Thanks again

I gladly would but unfortunately I don’t have the machine any longer. Maybe someone else on the forum can help with a picture.

Just so no one is confused, The Amberola VIII sold a very long time ago. Therefore, it is not available.
