If you own an Edison Spring Motor or Triumph, I'd very much appreciate your help. Below is a brief questionnaire. Please send your answers to me either by posting them here, sending a PM, or via email to gpaul2000 (at) aol (dot) com. If you'd like to be acknowledged in future a publication for your help, please include your name. If you'd prefer anonymity, please let me know. In either event, I'd very much appreciate any assistance you'd be willing to give.
Finally, if you know or suspect that a particular machine has been assembled from different machines, or had certain parts replaced (such as the carriage), please note that as well.
Thanks to all in advance,
George P.
Edison Spring Motor/Triumph Questionnaire 1) Serial number (found on top): 2) Is serial number stamped in a plate, or a raised boss? 3) If stamped in a plate, what’s the last patent date? 4) Does straight edge (where front of reproducer carriage rides) have 2 screws? 5) Does the upper casting have lugs for Class M pulley wheels? 6) Which secures the endgate; a ball catch, or a locking lug? 7) Does carriage hold the reproducer with nickeled clips, or a single screw at 2:00 position? 8) Motor number (found stamped on front of motor frame): 9) Are the motor gears solid or spoked? 10) If there’s a plate below the mandrel, what exactly does it say? 11) Which does the cabinet have; a drawer, a banner decal, or an “Edison” script decal? 12) Are there any dated material with it? Invoices? Packing slips? Writing inside the lid?
Thanks for your help! George Paul

So far, I've received no responses from this forum!
It's NOT too late to contribute your Spring Motor/Triumph serial number!
I appreciate any help with this project.
