Thank you for the Welcome. New here and thought I would start with a simple request.
As I am restoring what I believe is an Edison Amberola 25. I have a few cylinders; however, I am in search of one special Edison blue amberol. I am on a quest to find Edison blue amberol #2239 - My Old Kentucky Home (Fantasia) by Edison Band. You see I live in Kentucky and once my player is on display, there is no better tune to play for my guests to appreciate.
Thank you all for your help in this my first quest here on the message board.

Is it perhaps a 75? To my knowledge, the only Amberola models using Arabic number designations were the 30, 50, and 75 (There were also a 60 and an 80, but those are rather rare). If it's a floor model, it's probably a 75.
As for the cylinder, I'll have to check: I MIGHT have it, but I'm not sure.

I have discovered that what I am going to attempt restoring is a Amberola 30, 4 minute player.

You've hit the right place.. Lots of us have extra Amberola 30 parts. You're best best is to take some more pics of the machine and post them here so we can see exactly what it is that the machine may need. According to Approximate Amberola 30 Sales figures as published by George Frow, Your Amberola 30 was most likely made somewhere in the Fall of 1916. ) Tony K. Edison Collector/Restorer
