Gem question

Post by SydneyAde »

Hi folks

I'm just wondering if someone might be able to tell me if
Gem lids (for crank machines) are interchangeable, i.e., if an
earlier Gem lid will fit, say, a maroon model D?

I have George Frow's "Companion", though I'm still unsure.

Thanks
Ade

Apologies, I think I've answered my own question, thanks to Mr Frow.
p147, it says the cabinet was a little longer than earlier cabinets.. :oops:

No, the earlier crank Gem lids will not fit on the D/E models.

I have seen a Gem B lid used on a Gem D but it had some wood removed from the inside. Jerry
