Really Beautiful Amberola 30 for sale

The Edison Amberola 30, designed to play the celluloid Blue Amberol cylinders, was a machine introduced after the great factory fire of 1914. The 30 referred to its original price in dollars.

Although not rare, the Amberola 30 has become increasingly popular with a modern audience, due to its ease of use, compact size, pleasant proportions, and excellent sound.

This is as nice an example of an Amberola 30 as I have ever seen. Finish appears to be original, may have been meticulously cleaned. There is no veneer peel on the golden oak case, a common affliction for this model. I'm guessing that the front grill is an older reproduction.

This is the earlier version of the Amberola 30, with the speed control jutting through the upper gear cover. (Later versions required removing the gear cover to adjust the speed.) Another bonus is that the earlier version came with a brass neck on the reproducer, rather than a pot metal neck which typically broke off inside the horn.

This machine is playing flawlessly and sounds beautifully loud and clear.

Here's a great,easy way to play your four minute Blue Amberols. This type of cylinder is also the easiest to find. Don't have any? I'll include five originals with the machine.
