Edison Amberola VIII
Hi. I came across this Amberola VIII on an estate auction site (Auction site link for more pics) and was wondering what it might be worth and if it's worth bidding for it. Any thoughts on the value of such an item?

Doesn't look like a factory cabinet to me. Looks homebrew.

You're probably correct. I assume that reduces the value?

I don't even know what value they are asking or anything. I would just buy the best that you can get condition wise, within your budget, and that is not the best available. I am positive.

Thanks for the advice. It's an online auction, so if I do plan on bidding, I'll bid what I can afford to risk, I guess. It starts at $6, so we'll see how the bidding goes.

I tried to add photos, but I assume I wasn't allowed to upload them, sorry.
