Both of my grandparents had amberola 30s. My mother's side was bought in 1917, and on my dad's side 1918. I keep the records for each with their machines. Mom bought records right up to 1929, and my grandfather on dad's side bought records to about 1928. This machine was brought home by grandpa when everyone had the flu in 1918,except jhim. This was the flu that killed many many people. My godson brought home the Baby Console with original records (35) with it too. The last 5 or so are very nice electric ones. This machine was in nice original condition, He bought it from the niece of the original owner. It never had abuse, nor did either of my grandparent's machines. There was a cover storyin MAPS years ago about my mom, and her 30. which some of the list might have read at one time. I am in Germany at the moment, with my godson, so I can't tell you what the date was, but II would say around 1988 or so. phono-l-request at oldcrank.org wrote: Send Phono-L mailing list submissions to phono-l at oldcrank.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://oldcrank.org/mailman/listinfo/phono-l or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to phono-l-request at oldcrank.org You can reach the person managing the list at phono-l-owner at oldcrank.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Phono-L digest..."
