Re: [Phono-L] Interesting or Uninteresting Suitcase standard observation.
3624 is an early one. As per Edison there is no definate cut off regarding the ones without the gear cover. The new model A appeared around 30,000 and yet I know of a suitcase around 42,000 and a bed plate around 44,000 with the raised lug. The armed C was made into 1907 for two reasons, Edison never wasted and to upgrade the carriage with the two clips an arm was needed. The serial number of the C will let you know when it was upgraded.

Re: [Phono-L] Interesting or Uninteresting Suitcase standard observation.
Hello Bill, What is the serial number of the Standard? The early ones do not have a gear cover. Did it have a reproducer?

[Phono-L] Interesting or Uninteresting Suitcase standard observation.
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 ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
