Edison Cylinder Carriage w'Shaver from ???

Post by CDBPDX »

Just got a box of goodies and can't figure out what this carriage belongs on. I thought it was from a Triumph at first, but after looking a many pictures of Triumphs, I don't think so. Doesn't seem to resemble any from the Home series, either. Am I missing something? (I've led a sheltered life...)

The shaver looks good and seems to work, though I haven't actually shaved anything yet.

Thanks! Cliff

I just posted an answer to this on your facebook post!! Again, the reproducer carriage, with shaver, is from a Model A Triumph. The sleeve is for a Home--any model that you would be "amberolizing!" Edison made a large reproducer carriage for an O or diamond reproducer, and it could be used for either a Triumph or a Home--you just needed to have the correct sleeve for your machine. My model A Triumph shaver is pot metal, and has swollen slightly. Only 2 of the 4 screws line up to the holes anymore. A nice carriage to have and a nice sleeve to have!

Thanks TWICE for your help! My confusion came when all the Triumph carriages with shavers that matched had nickel plating on the sleeve and this has black enamel on the sleeve. Didn't occur to me that it could be a marriage of parts from different models. Now all I need is the rest of the Triumph.
