Re: Edison Triumph at the flea market

Hey everyone, guess what I came home with tonight! Yes, I got the Edison Triumph! The people who owned it are friends of mine (I forgot to mention before) and they gave me the machine until I could make a payment on it! (Which will probably be tomorrow). They also brought the price down to $450. I'm very happy and very exited about my Edison Triumph. I will post some pictures of the Triumph and I will get a picture if my booth at the flea market(because some of the members on the forum wanted me to get a photo of my booth).

Ok, the Triumph came with the incorrect crank. :roll: So does anyone have an Edison Triumph model B crank they can sell me?

I bought one for $450 but it needed lots of TLC. Edison Triumph are great machines and I only use my Triumphs when I want to play cylinder records. I can't wait to see some pics! :mrgreen:

Congrats Nick. Well bought, even if you have to put a little into it to get it going. Triumphs are great machines. Keep us posted on its progress.

I'm just wondering, is it possible for me to convert my Edison Triumph to a 2/4 minute machine? I found a 2/4 minute upper pulley assembly for an Edison home on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/201223058936 could I install this on my Triumph?

You mention in your first post that the TRIUMPH IS 2 & 4 MINUTES, IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN, WHAT IS MORE TO CONVERT, YOU HAVE ALRADY 2 & 4 MINUTES COMBINATION. :mrgreen: :geek: :geek:

You are lucky at 13 you have a flea market booth, at that age I was only grade 11, a minor I can not get a flea market booth, much more can not apply for a vendors permit, a drivers licence at 13 or does someone drives you around. Lastly my parents would not allow me carry that big amount of money. Being an adult and you are a minor I would afraid to negotiate with you. Good Luck.

Well, I was incorrect when I said that. The upper works pulley looked like a 2/4 minute but it wasn't. Sorry for the mistake. Now I feel stupid. :oops: :lol: I can't believe I said that.
