I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles - Test Play of 1910 Edison Model 1A Amberola

Here is Victrolaman test playing an early 1910 Edison Model 1A Amberola. The Amberola 1A was Edison’s first internal Horn Cylinder Player designed to compete with Victor’s Victrola and Columbia’s Grafonola. It had a unique design, as the Cylinder record actually traveled under a stationary reproducer and tone arm, the same as his luxury table model external horn phonograph “The Opera“. It played both 2 minute and 4 minute cylinder records, through the use of a Model “M“ Reproducer. This particular phonograph has the early cabinet design that featured the Rococo style grille.
