Does anyone know if this an original from the Edison factory or did some tinkerer turn it into an Electric Triumph. If original, I can't imagine there are very many still out there, and who ever bought it, must have got themselves a real deal !! The only thing I don't understand is the seller saying he does not have the facilities to test it. Wouldn't you just plug it in and see if the motor worked? unless the wiring was dangerously worn and frayed of course. If the motor was burned out, how available would a replacement be, so you could get it running again? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Boyles" <[email protected]> To: "Antique Phonograph List" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 26, 2009 2:08:22 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [Phono-L] Any comment on electric Triumph
This looks very well done but absent a governor I can't imagine it to be speed accurate. I came close to pulling the trigger but let someone else have the treasure.....Eric http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=220403208594 _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org From [email protected] Mon Apr 27 09:11:10 2009 From: [email protected] ([email protected]) Date: Mon Apr 27 09:21:27 2009 Subject: [Phono-L] Any comment on electric Triumph Message-ID: <698805781-1240848673-cardhu_decombobulator_blackberry.rim.net-19010251...@bxe1209.bisx.prod.on.blackberry> He also said the decal was original. I corrected him on that point and he graciously added ti his description. His ad also says (many times) it is an as is sale. He's covered himself well. ------Original Message------ From: [email protected] Sender: [email protected] To: Antique Phonograph List ReplyTo: Antique Phonograph List Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Any comment on electric Triumph Sent: Apr 27, 2009 7:23 AM Does anyone know if this an original from the Edison factory or did some tinkerer turn it into an Electric Triumph.

I am currently accepting offers for a circa 1905 Edison coin-op Class M cabinet. This is the cabinet pictured on page 117 of the Frow/Sefl book on the lower right. It is in as-found condition with original finish, and a few restoration issues, but solid overall. There is no glass top. This is a very scarce cabinet as not many Class M's were being sold in the 1905 period. Please contact me if interested. I will be emailing photographs to interested parties starting tomorrow. I may be open to partial or full trades as well. Delivery to Union possible or pick up . . . I am in Madison, Indiana.

If the Triumph were early as this one was, a Model A 1901 - 1905 with ball latch, then the much later induction type motor from 1918+ cannot be original. Yet another garage mechanic "improved" Edison is my opinion. If the machine had the bi-polar motor of the period then it would have been worth a great deal more than the Buy-It-Now price for the motor alone.

Just heard from Charley Hummel who had just gotten off the phone with Ken's friend Fred at the hospital, Ken had quadruple by pass surgery & is now in the recovery room sounds like everything went just fine ! Charley visited Ken last night & again found him in good spirits, asking how much he sold at the Wayne Show as he couldn't remember anything !! Charley told him " You weren't around long enough to sell anything " & Ken just laughed ---- he could possibly even be on his way home by the weekend. Look for Ken at Union & he'll be happy to show everyone his scar !! Jim G.
