The Amberola 30 remains one of Edison’s most iconic and reliable cylinder phonographs, and this beautifully restored example captures everything collectors love about early 1910s home entertainment. Designed for Edison’s durable 4‑minute Blue Amberol cylinders, the Model 30 offered clear tone, dependable performance, and an elegant compact footprint — making it one of the company’s most successful machines.
This particular Amberola 30 has undergone a complete, professional restoration, bringing it back to its original mechanical precision and warm, resonant sound. The motor has been fully serviced for smooth, steady operation, the governor and gearing have been tuned for proper speed, and the reproducer has been rebuilt to deliver crisp, lively playback. It starts easily, runs quietly, and plays with the kind of strength and clarity that made these machines famous.
The cabinet presents beautifully, retaining the classic lines and charm that define the Amberola series. Its lift‑top lid, internal horn design, and compact footprint make it an ideal display piece for any collection — and a wonderfully reliable daily player.
A fine example of Edison engineering, this Amberola 30 is both a historically significant machine and a dependable performer. Perfect for collectors, first‑time cylinder enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates the charm of early 20th‑century sound. Any questions, feel free to ask!
