I have a model B gold Triumph or should I say an exgold gold Triumph. The only remaining gold is on the adjusting screw on the back of the carriage. The gold on the case still remains. The serial number is 57978. This phonograph is a work in progress and a very slow progress indeed!

WantATreat, Great to hear and sadly, almost all as-found machines retain very little remaining gold plating. I've heard that it was more of a "gold wash" and did not hold up well to handling and the elements. I'd love to hear more from you either posted here or sent to me via PM or email. I'd like to know if it is in an OAK or MAHOGANY case and whether it has the little signature tag on the bedplate.

Thanks,

Terry
