There have been several recoded cases of that marriage with evidence
that it is original. Keep in mind that as cylinders were displaced by
disk records these machines went to the refurbishers and were resold as
new-used machines through the catalog stores. Th old cylinder machines
became trade-ins or sold outright. Probably late teens and early 20s
period which would make the original owners close to 90 now.

I have a 1B mech in a 1A cabinet that was original as far as the original

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...
