Steve; I have a cabinet for an Amberola 1B that could be retrofitted to
what you want I think . I have had it for many yeard and would be willing
to trade it for something that I need more than that. I purchased it in
Montana and paid a lot to have it shipped to Hanford Calif where we lived
for many years.  It is Mahogany and has all the drawera and is in decent
shape.  If you will phone me at 805 534 9501  I will be glad to tell you
much more about the cabinet and why I  am willing to let it go.  Jim Parks
