"Brake Lever" Questions for Edison A-250 owners

Post by fran604g »

Hi folks,

1) Does your A-250 have an adjustable brake ACTUATING lever with a small set screw under the turntable?

2) Does your A-250 have a pivoted safety stop finger?

Please note the serial number with your answer here, or in a PM.

Sure Dave,

Sorry I didn't word that better. :oops: I apologize for my poor wording and terrible editing skills.

At some point the brake ACTUATING lever configuration on the A-250 was changed to a two piece adjustable lever like the B-250, C-250 and other models. I'm trying to learn approximately when this change occurred.

Hi folks,

Well after messing the first post up, and editing it so it makes a bit more sense; I remembered seeing a picture yesterday of what is a THIRD version of the lever.

This THIRD version is a simple, straight piece of metal. I noticed it in a post on Yankee Trader by member "Garret". http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewto ... 81#p103981

A link to a picture of the lever is here:
