I finally found time (after 12+ years) to pull out the boxes in which
I collected various parts for an Edison Standard and finally got it
working The motor is rough, but with new governor weights, a
tensioner spring, a belt and some careful oiling actually plays
pretty well. I am pretty sure the topworks are from a Std. B that
someone chromed at one time. It might be original, I'm not sure. It
looks great (shiny!) and everything on it rolls nice and smoothly.
Together they play 2 minute cylinders quite nicely.
I have a combo attachment with the slanted cover which I want to
install so I can also play 4 minute cylinders, but it just does not
quite fit. I thought I had everything lined up, but the gear you move
back and forth just does not seem to have enough room to move.
If anyone has a combo attachment installed on a B, could you take off
the cover and snap a few shots of the gearing so I can confirm how
everything is supposed to fit together? I wish the cover was chromed,
but I'll live with a black cover to be able to play 4 min. cylinders.

Thanks much!
