The "Indiana Graphophone" nameplate in my pictures below is gone? I wonder what happened to it? Do you have any pics of the machine with the new nickel plating? I always intended to do that (and a new decal), and I think Shawn was planning the same. What were you saying about a gutta percha reproducer? I could never figure out if the metal one in my pictures was an original or a repro. By the way, remind me who "zono" is. I usually don't remember who the alias guys are.

Anyone with a fraction of a brain would know to Google "Amberola DX" before buying it, if they didn't know what an Amberola DX was.
