[Phono-L] Amberola VIII and cyl cabinet questions

[Ron L'Herault]

I have recently acquired an Amberola VIII that I think someone modified to
run on an electric motor once.  The electric motor was already gone though
as was most of the original spring motor.  Sooo, the questions are:

1. What is the original size (OD and diameter at the belt groove bottom) of
the pulley on the spring motor.

2. Is this pulley very heavy for its size.

3. Should it have a cork lining to the pulley groove?

4. There is an oblong hole in the back plate to the right of the cut out for
the horn neck.  I suspect the on/off electrical switch was there but I am
not sure.  Has anyone seen a hole like this in their VIII?

And on a separate note,
I've been given a cylinder cabinet, a rather simple design with flat board
shelves that have grooves in them into which one glues cardboard "pegs".
Toilet paper and paper towel inner cardboard tubes are the right size, by
the way.

The hooks that keep the shelves from pulling all the way out are missing.
Anyone have a source for replacement hooks.  They are a rather critical
component.

Thanks,
