Hello Dan, Can you send a photo of the H, I will let you know if it is a repro.
Top and bottom. The Standard C you have, it is an ICS model? Does it have pin
striping or decals? The Standard C is found about 10% as often as the ICS
model. The Standard C is found with pin striping and decals. If it has pin
striping the cover plate would be the same as for the A and B. I do not know if
Edison made an upgrade gear cover with decals, that is interesting. Al help!
Edison made the standard B C and D all at the same time during 1908. I have
seen a Standard D with a B ID plate and the painted pin striping. I have seen
the D and C with both pin striping and decals. I have only ever seen one
Edison recorder that was missing the serial number. I have yet to see a
reproducer missing the serial number. What is the serial number of the C
reproducer? Does the 2/4 kit have the box it came in? Are you going to install
the kit? I do have a very nice box. Thanks, Steve
