My Amberola VI is the C model which has a Fireside motor. The gear cover is a very simple piece to make. I cut it from some aluminum flashing and bent it to fit. I certainly couldn't make the one that is on an Amberola VI model A. If someone wants to see a picture of it let me know how to send pictures to the file.
