It is a fairly low serial number, I worked on Amberola 30 number 137. My 50 is
SM - - - 7488. I believe the 30 50 and 75 all had their own serial numbers as
137 had reproducer serial number 307 on it. SM is spring motor and number 137
did not have that on the ID plate.
I believe just under 310,000 of the 30 50 and 75, 60, and 80's were made as I
have not seen a Diamond D reproducer over 310,000.
