Item 1.  Security and Issuer

          This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D on the Class A
Common Stock of The Morgan Group, Inc. (the "Issuer") is being
filed on behalf of the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D, as
amended (the "Schedule 13D"), which was originally filed on
December 12, 1995.  Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized
terms used herein but not defined shall have the same meaning as
set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
     Item 3 to Schedule 13D is amended, in pertinent part, as
follows:
          Lynch used approximately $52,925 of funds from working
capital to purchase the additional Securities reported by it in
Item 5 below.  

Item 5.   Interest In Securities Of The Issuer
     Item 5 to Schedule 13D is amended, in pertinent part, as
follows:
          (a)  The aggregate number and percentage of Securities
to which this Schedule 13D relates is 1,365,900 shares, repre-
senting 51.75% of the 2,639,010 shares outstanding.  This latter
number of shares is arrived at by adding the number of shares
outstanding as reported in the Issuer's most recent Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended September 30, 1997 (1,439,010 shares) to the
number of shares which would be receivable by the Reporting
Persons if they were to convert all of the Issuer's Class B
Common Stock held by them (1,200,000 shares) into the Class A
Common Stock of the Issuer.  The Reporting Persons beneficially
own those Securities as follows: 
                              Shares of           % of
                              Class A             Class A
Name                          Common Stock        Common Stock
                                      
Lynch Corporation            1,355,900               51.38%


Mario J. Gabelli                10,000                0.37%


          Mr. Gabelli may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of
the Securities beneficially owned by Lynch Corporation.<PAGE>
