Greetings Ron: I don't have my notes in front of me so this is coming out of my senile old memory stored in the few gray cells I have left.
Edison went to the pin lift in the Model B later machines, the Model C, and the first of the Model D. Then the later D machines, the E, and the F went back to a lever lift. I would assume your D machines were both correct as shipped from West Orange; but, the serial number of the machine would be the telling point. Hope that helps, Al Who guarantees his information to be at least 50% correct... -----Original Message----- From: Ron L'Herault <[email protected]> To: 'Antique Phonograph List' <[email protected]>; phonolist <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, Mar 8, 2012 7:20 am Subject: [Phono-L] Edison Home D. Listmates, My Edison Home D with standard carriage (front mount for C and H reproducers) has a lift lever. However, I have a Home D in for repair that has the push/pull button with manual lift of the front mount carriage. Are both styles correct or is one of these machines (I've owned mine since the late 1960s) a "marriage" of parts? The lift lever style has a somewhat rounded surface running against the bar in front. On the machine in for repair, it looks like someone may have filed this flat (the second time I've seen that). Or was it always flat? So what's going on here?
