Here are photos of my AH. My cabinet is identical to the one in this thread. I bought my machine from a non collector. The patent date on the reproducer is May 4th, 1886 and it has a thumb screw. The traveling arm is approximately 14.75". I believe my support arm is a reproduction of the correct 9" length (approx). The horn has its original leather elbow. The crank is threaded. I hope this helps.

Regarding the Search function, surrounding your Search phrase with double-quotes - "type ah" as in the attached photo, should provide you access to the publications referenced in this thread.

Thank you. That is exactly what I did and received the "NO RESULTS MATCHED YOUR QUERY. PLEASE TRY A DIFFERENT PHRASE" result –– unless I am missing something. Thanks, Jerry Blais for your photos.

Jerry, Thanks so much for those pictures. In all my years of collecting, I never saw a motor like this one. For those of us who are not that great with computers, I appreciate the help.

That was a transitional motor which was offered only briefly. For the article referenced in The Antique Phonograph, a collector and member of this forum kindly sent a photo, as I did not have one. (And I cannot find that photo in my computer files.)

Thanks for posting, Jerry! :)

Regarding the advanced search on the APS website, thanks to the patience and kindness of Rod, I discovered that the problem seems to be with the way my computer configuration. When I copy/paste the search term not typed with my computer (sent via email from Rod) I get the correct results. Are there any other Mac users out there who find this happens?
