Amberola Horn ~ Tuesday, June 06, 2023

The first thing I realized about the Amberola was that it's supposed to have a horn (which goes *inside* of this model), but it didn't. Eventually I snagged one on eBay--and was surprised when it showed up from Prescott, AZ! Turned out that the seller had found it at the same Goodwill! But on inspection, it appeared to not be from the same device, because it had some broken pieces of metal inside, which were *not* broken off from our player. My guess is that the player and the horn came from someone's unfinished restoration project.

That broken bit of metal stuck in the horn came out with a bit of Dremeling, and now it fits our player (a little to tightly--it's supposed to swivel freely--that'll take a little more (careful) grinding to loosen up the fit).
