Re: Edison Triumph model A/B or B?
Sorry - I haven't yet cracked the Triumph/Spring Motor/Class M/Alva/Idelia/Coin-op code. I'm close, but not there yet.
If you have a question about which model Triumph it is (as the subject line implies), just post a couple of photos. Actually, you don't even need to do that - - the transitional "A/B" Triumph will have a Model A top works in a later cabinet we associate with the Models B, C, D, E, and F.
The serial numbering of these "A/B" Triumphs begins around 45,000, so your example seems just a tad early for that. Certainly not impossible, though.

Thanks George
I have not cleaned it up yet, runs strong and I borrowed a C reproducer from my Standard machine......

It certainly looks like an "A/B" Triumph. If you know the provenance, and if it's been un-monkeyed with, I wouldn't suspect anything is amiss.

Thanks George - It's a dirty diamond in the rough - just missing the reproducer,,, which I have a spare C that was rebuilt by Steven Medved. Just needs a good cleaning and greasing. I don't see any modifications, looks all original to my eyes anyway.

Briankeith,
My Triumph A/B looks exactly like yours, "A" style works in a "B" style case. I suspect it's okay.
