I picked up a suitcase standard very inexpensively today (of the 2 clip variety). I got it and started to look at it and realized that it's mechanism is different than the banner model A standard. The spring barrel is smaller and appears to use a different spring and the turn off mechanism appears different and just presses on the governor yolk instead of having a felt brake of it's own. In addition, it appears no gear cover ever existed for this machine as there are no holes and no way to affix the model A 2 minute gear cover without drilling a hole. I thought the mechanisms were identical, so I guess it was just a bit of education. Bill
