> One quick and easy way to tell if the Amberola had a grille cloth or not is

> not need to have grille cloth to disguise the internal horn. When the
> Amberola 30, 50, 75, and later 60 and 80 came along it was determined that a
> quickly glued in grille cloth would be less expensive than the wood grained
> paint process. So you have an ugly black horn hidden behind the cloth.
> Along the way people have added grille cloth to the earlier Amberolas (to
> keep the dust out) and taken the cloth out of the later ones (to let the
> sound out); thus, there is confusion today.
