The 2nd Series type of Amberola 30's (1916-1917) also had the Early Black and Silver (Anodized Aluminum over Brass) Dataplates which were used from (1915-1917) but were moved and now mounted on the rear of the bedplate right behind the mandrel and cabinets mostly had the 3 ply veneer cabinets as the 5-ply cabinets were being phased out. The horn was then changed to a pin-type horn assembly. The speed control was changed and was now hidden under the side/top gearplate/governor cover for the rest of the Amberola 30 run through to the Amberola 30 Production ended in 1925. The lid bracket was still a two-screw type onto the lid, and was retained. Some very Late made 2nd Series type Amberola 30s have been found to have the lid bracket with the (1) one screw type as new parts were being phased in, but retain all of the other aspects of the 2nd Series type Amberola 30. The older Black and Silver (Anodized Aluminum over Brass) Dataplates and older lids also help identify these as still being 2nd series type Amberola 30s.
