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.

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.

Jerry is correct about mixing a 1A and a III, but a 1B uses the same

mechanism as the III.  Even so, the number stamped into the III mechanism will

not match that on the 1A/B cabinet.  This sort of mixing&   matching permanently

separates mechanisms and cabinets, preventing the proper restoration of the

original machines.  I'd advise against it.

Does anyone happen to know how much difference there is between the guts of

an



Amberola I and a III?  Hoping to do a swap into a Amberola I cabinet from a



messed up III I have...







Thanks...
