Does anyone know the history of what happened to the Edison company after Tom
died. It seems that they never really moved in any new direction other than
terminal decline..

I am looking at a couple Edison spring motor machines, I have never owned one
previously and wanted to know what to look for. I am looking for one that is
reasonably original and unmolested. How long and what serial numbers would you
expect to have the brass mandrel, and what reproducer goes wit

Oilite is a trademark and specific brand of bearings that has changed hands
multiple times over the years. Oilite bearings were invented by Chrysler
corporation and was a subsidiary of Chrysler and profit center for a good
while.

I think you are better off looking for an original on eBay, you are going to

It's probably someone who doesn't know what the machine is worth, they
both have lots of feedback (the bidders). I can't imagine paying more than
500 bucks for that machine. The one interesting thing of note is that it
has a slotted crank, not threaded. My banner standard A has a threaded
crank and

Is there any reason you would ever leave a potmetal bearing in one of these
machines? I have always had it replaced whether it needed it or not figuring
that it is easier to do when its not siezed and it is an inevitablity so why
not replace it with a brass one... Am I missing something?

Why did they record the final diamond disc's at 78RPM? Seems rather odd
decision since existing owners would have to adjust the speed of their
machines for these records then adjust back for any of the previous 15 yr +
worth of records.

Lots of info available from Grand Rapids public library. They were a

This is all based on a potentially faulty premise that the buyer will
actually follow through with the purchase. When I upgraded my iPhone from
a 3GS to a 4 I put the 3GS on ebay, some foreign buyer bid up to 600 bucks
