Wanted - Edison Standard, Model B, case parts

[stevenhman]

Hmm, talked to one place. Base price is $300 and $50 per inch of cutting tool. Gonna shop around some more unless lots of people need

[stevenhman]

Found a local place:

$140 for custom knife - need sacrificial piece than can be cut to laser scan to make knife
$60/hr shop time (1-2 hrs for setup and running)
$XX for dimensional quartersawn white oak
$60/hr (1-2 hours) for secondary operation (cut to length, round one corner on each)
EST COST: $260-$380 for finished molding, not including cost of wood

Do any other models share the same profile of trim?
How many people would be interested in sharing costs? I don't have the spare $$ at the moment to do a run on my own and sell sets on eBay...

If you use the model B Tall style moulding (with the bottom lip) as a pattern, the end product can later be trimmed down to fit the Late Style (model D and up) which has no bottom lip. The fellow that did the reproduction pieces 15 years ago did it that way so it could be used for both.(I'm sorry I forgot his name - he did business as "World of Wind - Ups".) The same moulding would also fit some of the later model A New style lids (sporadically starting in the 140,000s). Good luck on the project!

Thanks Martin! It'll be a while before I alone could do it. Not sure what the demand is for these parts since I've only been at this a few months.

Have you tried George Vollema? I got a moulding for my AT from him: a Standard B should not be too much of a problem.

No, thanks though - will give him a call tomorrow.

I have two Edison Standards, Model B. Both of the tops are missing the front and rear moldings. If you know anyone who makes these parts or if anyone has them for sale, I would appreciate knowing about it. Thanks.

Hi Mike, I think I might have what your looking for.
Here are a few pics of a Standard B lid I would let go of. It's in pretty good shape, no veneer separation
but it does have one small piece missing on one of the side moldings and a couple of nicks on the top.
The front and rear moldings are just fine.

PM me if your interested.
Thanks, Dave
