Hello All,

I recently purchased an Edison Amberola BVIII and have struggled to find information about this model.

Does anyone know of any information about this specific model?

Thanks

Steven

The B-Vlll was introduced in 1914. Selling for $45. All stocks of the B-Vlll were destroyed in the Dec 1914 fire at the Edison factory.

Here is a picture of mine

I understand these machines are considered scarce due to the factory fire. I'm a big fan of this model given that it has the bigger mainspring and full metal bedplate.
