In 1951 the company released a new model called the Musicola M12/10B. It contained the same mechanism as the previous model, but featured a new taller cabinet design.

The mechanism motors were locally produced by Byer who also made the first wire recorders in Australia.

The also locally produced five valve push pull mono amplifier featuring two rotary dials for volume and tone control, incorporating sockets for an extension speaker and remote volume control. This powered a 12" Magnavox or Rola speaker located in the front of the cabinet behind a mesh cover.

The cabinet featured two pink perspex strips backlit by six red globes. The record playing, selection choices and pricing could be viewed through the backlit red perspex window located in the lid of the machine. Musicola in chrome lettering was mounted on top of the machine attached to pink backlit perspex.

A tonearm featuring a thumbscrew cartridge that used a sapphire tipped needle similar to the pre war Seeburgs and Wurlitzers was fitted and was advertised as being good enough for at least 2000 plays. Models were later retrofitted to play 7" 45 RPM records with a simple gearing change, tonearm adjustment, and lightweight cartidge upgrade.

The Musicola M12/10B with Serial Number #217, from Frog's collection, was donated in 2014 to the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney.
