I need to find instructions on where to put the hardware for a crane set up for an Edison Home. From different pictures I see, it looks like the foot and top support are mounted almost in the middle of the machine. I did searches on this site and couldn't find any info. If anyone has some measurements or a web site with the info, or "rule of thumb" info, I would much appreciate it.

Re: Where to put horn hardware on a Home
Front-of-case-case-mounted ‘Home’ cranes typically go about in the middle of the feedscrew. You don’t say which iteration ‘Home’ that you have, but iteration ‘B’ and up typically have a slot milled into the top-edge of the front panel where the factory upper crane support fits (it’s a bent piece of sheet metal with a hole in it for the crane rod to pass through), and the underside of the cabinet has a bent metal ‘receiver’ for the crane foot to slide into. Sometimes these are missing, but the screw holes remain.bruv wrote: Tue Mar 08, 2022 9:21 pm I need to find instructions on where to put the hardware for a crane set up for an Edison Home.

Re: Where to put horn hardware on a Home
Thank you both so much. This machine doesn't have any holes on the bottom or the slot cut on the top, most likely never had a crane on it. The guy I am getting this info for wants to put a crane and large horn on it. Your info fits the bill. That is much appreciated.

Thank you for the replies. I didn't know they made that type of clip. I'll have to look for one. Thanks again.
