I just received an Edison Spring Motor phonograph. If there is anyone on this list that also has one I would like to compare a couple of things. The serial number on the phonograph is 24090, the serial number on the motor is 2169, and the serial number on the deep dish standard reproducer is NL 10523. The side lever on the reproducer is blank and the serial number is upside down at the 6 o'clock position. I have never seen one of these up close and find very interesting the way the whole machine was made. The face of the upper left casting in front of the manderel feed screw has holes in the corners as if it should have an ID plate on it. But, it doesn't look like one was ever on it. There are also some threaded holes in the upper casting below the pulley that I can't figure out what they are for.
I can be contacted off list at kbab1 at charter.net I can email pictures to those interested. I am still in need for an original lid for it also. If anyone has one or knows of one available, please contact me.
