I just came home yesterday from a local auction with an Amberola V. Its in great shape, but is missing two of the rounded wooden feet. I assume this is a common problem since the small pegged upper portion of the foot is glued into a hole in the cabinet. Eventually the glue lets go and off goes the foot, many lost forever. Anyway, I need a couple of these to make this early Amberola model V Complete (it is serial number 845 so it was one of the first 1200 sent off to dealers back in 1912-13) according to Frows book. Are there anyone suppliers out there that have repros, or even better some originals off of a derelict cabinet?? Thanks for you help on this.

I'll try locally again and see if I can find a long taper or possibly a "split pin" that will fit, so I can get it back together. That will give me enough time to see what else I need so I can get everything in one order.

That is the last piece that I need to complete this unit, and I'm not in a position to order other parts to reach a minimum purchase amount as required from most dealers.
