I happened to see this last night, and almost choked on my cocoa. The NEEDLE CUPS on a cylinder machine should set off the first alarm. It is an Amberola mechanism shoved into a chopped-down, cheapo disc cabinet. Gross-buckets, as they used to say in Bloom County. . Maybe the machinery is worth something, but who has empty Amberola cabinets laying around? They shoulda stuck it in a crate & claimed it's a rare Mission style Amberola IV! (One of which is pictured in a Buffalo music shop. I wonder where that one went) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Graham Newton" <g...@audio-restoration.com> To: <phono-l@oldcrank.org> Sent: Thursday, November 25, 2010 4:03 PM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] What's wrong with this picture? > On Thu, 25 Nov 2010 00:23:14 -0800 (PST) > john robles <john9...@pacbell.net> said... > >> More ebay follies, folks, This is laughable.
