Bob, I enjoyed your report about your new toy.  Is it an A or B, and do
you know what year it was made?  If you don't, post the serial number,
and I can date it for you.

I have a Marshall & Wendell Ampico B, 1931, 4' 8", light art case.  I
believe there was only one style by this time.  Its music deck is held
on with an L-shaped pin at each side, the same shape as the lid hinge
pins.  Mine is very sensitive to humidity, and generally won't play
during the heating season or plays poorly.
