Help Wanted on Price for an Oak Amberola 75

[Talkophone]

Sorry I don't have a picture of the 75. It is Oak average condition small piece of veneer missing on top. What I would like to know since it is in an after market case where the Amberola slides into the cabinet to make a floor model. Is it worth more since it would be scarce?The asking price is $450.00

Larry, If it's a table model Amberola that slides into an after market cabinet, it's not an Amberola 75. If it's tagged a 75, it's a marriage of parts and I would be suspicious of more discrepancies. If it's an Amberola 30 in an after market cabinet, my personal opinion is that it's more interesting than an Amberola 75. If you like it to keep, it's worth $450. If you are buying for resale in the near future, I'd pass.

Were after market cabinets made to house the Amberola 50? In forty years of collecting, I've seen a handful of Amberola 30 cabinets but never one for a 50. Jerry Blais

You are right Jerry after posting I thought maybe it would still be a 30 and slide into an after market cabinet. Like you I think it maybe worth buying as you don't see many after market cabinets. Actually I'm not sure if it is marked model 75 or just still have the 30 tag. I will check it out when I decide to buy it.
