Edison Standard type "D molding

Post by fmblizz »

Is this the correct molding for a Edison Standard type "D" ?? I am seeing four different listings on Ebay for Type D standards. Two have the simpler double bottom molding as shown in my attachment and two have the larger fancier double plus molding on the bottom which I always thought was correct.

Since this has obviously refinished I'm assuming the cabinets in two of them has the wrong mechanism in it.

Thanks in advance

I've believed that the early Standard D came is the tall case usually associated with the Standard B. The later, and maybe majority, of Model D machines came in a squatter cabinet with heavier molding. Please correct me if I'm wrong. :shock:

Jerry is correct - the early-production Edison Standard Ds used the low molding. My first Standard D (#676769) had the low molding, and I've seen several others - all with early-production numbers.
