Amberola 30 Cylinder Phonograph

Serial Number SM 65537  (see jpeg)

 

A dusty, but apparently complete Edison Amberola 30 phonograph. The instructions are in a printed out pdf file I got from online.  If you buy this machine and want the pdf file,  and you cannot down load it from the web,  write me and I will send it to you.

 I tried to take lots of jpegs to show the thing off.  See attached.

CAVEAT:   I know nothing whatsoever about these phonographs generally, or this device in particular, other than that my sister recently gave it to me to list on eBay.  She is a senior widow who reports that this machine belonged to her deceased husband’s long deceased father and that it was running when her father-in-law had it.  Thereafter, it was put away still in running condition and it has since sat in my sister’s closet - unopened along with 27 cylinders which will be sold separately and are not included here.

 It is a bit dusty.  I have not tried to run it.  Again, I did take a bunch of photos as per included.  It looks all there to me. Notice however,  that it is not guaranteed to be in running condition and there is no warranty of fitness for intended use.  It is an as is device.

The large photo of a brass label at the foot of the machine in some photographs is not the brass label from this machine which is included on the machine in the photos.  I had a hard time taking a picture of the brass label on this machine (see photographs),  so I got a blown up photo of another plate on the web and put the Photostat in front of this machine so you could get the idea of the plate in the other pictures.  That paper image of a plate picture in some of my jpegs is for illustrative purposes only.
