Hi -
Thanks for the response.
No, I have no intention of doing anything permanent or irreversible. I
basically want to add cylinder storage. My III lost its shelf before I got it,
and looks awful.
From the sounds of things, horn size will be the main issue...

Hi folks
If anyone is interested, I am offering a very fine BA of Social and Industrial

Seems that after many of those machines left the factory the retail
dealers swapped the mechanisms to make customers happy with the color of
the machine.

How do you explain original machines that have been in the same family
since new that have mismatched works? There are different shades of
mechanisms and for what those machines cost originally people were
picky. If you expect to find a period written record good luck.

doing some mind-reading here, how about:
Pan-American exposition (1901)
I guess one has to define mismatched works...
An Amberola 1A mechansim serial number matches a corresponding nameplate which
is affixed to the cabinet. Cabinets are stamped with a different number which
is on the lid, main cabinet, and on the doors. Without the nameplate on the
cabinet,
Yeah that's probably it!!

The theory is that the cabinet numbers all match and the cabinet number
matches the serial number plate and the mechanism serial number. I have
seen way too many of these machines that have verifiable provenance
where the mech sn and the plate sn match but they do not match the
cabinet. I
The original owners are long dead unless you consider someone born around 1920
to parents that bought the edison who is still alive to be an original owner.

What I said was the mech and tag match but those 2 do not match the
cabinet numbers even though all of the cabinet numbers do match each of
the other cabinet numbers. It is a given that the mech has been changed
if it fails to match the tag on the case.
And as you said, many mechanisms were

Bob: The back panel is still stuck fast but you can see in my earlier reply
to this thread that I used suggestions of several members to get the motor
board open. Next I will be giving the back panel a whack from the
inside with my trustee rubber mallet by putting in the motor board hole.
Why would the Edison Company go to the trouble of assigning a number to the
major cabinet parts, the mechanism, and the ID tag? When I look at a big
Amberola with the eye of a buyer, I check those numbers and expect them to be
the same. Right or wrong, I'll assign a lower value to a machine
