Greetings Scott: The last 1000 bedplates were the long cast ones so no top grille would be needed. It is the long casting that makes a B-VIII... a B-VIII ! ! !
The Fireside motor was not changed, nor the cabinet, or horn. If you find a B-VIII with the removable top grille then it is someone's kitchen table conglomerate or a factory mistake which is not unknown. Hope that helps, Al -----Original Message----- From: Scott Colgrove <[email protected]> To: phono-l <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, Jan 8, 2012 1:38 pm Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Amberola B-VIII Al – do you know how many of the solid bedplate vs. the removable grill B-VIIIs ere made?
