scarce Amberola B-5, can deliver to Wayne, NJ / NY area

Post by MicaMonster »

Post-factory fire Amberola B-5. Mahogany cabinet with very old original finish. Reproducer rebuilt and adjusted. Motor oiled and adjusted, runs incredibly quiet, smooth, steady. Has original metal grille. The B-5 is in essence a mahogany Amberola 5 cabinet, with an Amberola 50 works in it, along with the adjustable speed control and additional decorations that only the earliest Diamond-C equipped Amberolas had. After the fire, remaining Amberola 5 cabinets were fitted with the 30/50/75 mechanism and sold as the B-5. Low serial number ....#35. Beyond rebuilding the reproducer, I have been playing it and enjoying it. I had no intention of stripping and refinishing the cabinet, but maybe the next owner will? Priced right at only $600. More pictures can be emailed directly to you, just drop me an email to: wyatt {at} edisondiamonddisc {dot com} I can deliver at no additional charge to the Wayne, NJ show or the Carlisle phonograph auction on August 18th. AND, to make this even sweeter, I will include 30+ Blue Amberol records with the machine (all good & tested, no junk, lots of high quality flat-top early issues!).
