EDISON AMBEROLA
The VIII was introduced in 1913, at a time when the concept of cloth behind the grille had not been envisioned. In fact, the metal internal horn was nicely grain-painted to look like wood. It was meant to be viewed and admired.
Here we see the outstanding ORIGINAL grain-painting of the grille and the horn behind. It's touches such as these that make this Amberola a delight.
In fact, several components were stylishly grain-painted, as you can see here. Note also the original gilt decoration adorning the motor plate. Original "Edison" decal at the rear. The Amberola X uses a Diamond B reproducer, with a genuine diamond stylus -- in our opinion, the best sounding reproducer that Edison made (to play the 4-minute "Blue Amberol" cylinder records).
Showing the beauty of the golden oak finish -- the lid should be closed while playing.
This ancient Amberola artfully auditions Edison 4-minute Blue Amberol records -- indestructible and loaded with toe-tapping music..
Price: $750.00 US, including one 4-minute cylinder record, plus s/h (NY State residents must pay tax, if applicable).
