Re: FOR SALE: Edison Transitional Model B Standard $550
When I see oddities with Standards I always look to see if it's an ICS machine. They seemed to use random cabinets with what was then the current ICS top works. For example I have a Model C Standard ICS mechanism in a early Model B case with banner decal. The original lid matches the lower cabinet perfectly and the inside of the lid has a sticker touting the convenience of not having an endgate. Jerry Blaisif early Cs and Ds were cased in the B-type cabinet, why isn't this unusually late B in a later style cabinet? A mystery...

There's an ICS machine currently on ebay that has an endgate, double striping and exposed speed control. Horrible pics don't help it but this one must be rare as it came with a Columbia BKT lid. Look closely and you can see the screws that hold the ICS repeater, but the repeater is gone. No pics of the front panel, banner front? But luckily there are 2 pics of the back panel(??). And even better 5 pics of the lid! Serial number unknown.

Was the comment about rarity ironic?
Also, the carriage lift, or the carriage itself, appears to have been replaced. The ICS models had a lift lever, with a sort of rack that engaged the repeater, rather than the button.

It was an attempt at sarcasm. I don’t think any Edison machine left the factory with a Columbia lid.Lucius1958 wrote:Crank_it_up wrote:
