Re: Suitcase Home
The seller is Justin Schuab. He is great to deal with and has great parts.
On the Home, check the motor to see if it has brass governor weights. Also check the off/on lever. There might be a little bump to keep the lever from being accidentally moved. My early Suitcase Home 39XX has a brass mandrel and the features that I mentioned.

Hi Harvey,
The governor weights are steel but may be replacements. As you say, there is a small bump in the stop/start groove.
Cheers

Re: Suitcase Home
Hi guys - One more question please !
The carriage holding the reproducer on mine only has two holes in it, one about 11 o'clock and one about 5 o'clock. The retaining clips I have seen appear to have two holes. One to attach the clip and one with a slot to allow it to slide over the edge of the reproducer. Were clips still used when there are only two holes ?
Thanks
Andrew

Re: Suitcase Home
Andrew,
My Suitcase Home No 2092 has brass governor weights and the nick on the brake lever slot. Someone in the past changed the mandrel to a nickel one. (they were seen as much more attractive).
The clips on mine have only one screw apiece, but are shaped exactly like normal ones.

- The sidearm C reproducer in this photo was only a temporary stopgap whilst the Automatic which came with it (with original glass diaphragm) was being serviced.
Now reunited.

Re: Suitcase Home
Many thanks for the info ! It is amazing that our two machines are only 3 numbers apart ! (and both living in the UK !)
Cheers

Re: Suitcase Home
My early Standard (#393) also has reproducer clamps held by a single screw for each.
