The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I saw this Edision standard machine in a new antique shop that opened looks pretty cool think this one has a 2/4 minute conversion all in all nice machine

That's a Edison Standard B fitted with a combination attachment, it has potential!

That is a nice Standard B with Combo attachment. I would say a good cleaning of the upper works and motor. A new belt, rebuild the reproducer, all normal stuff for any newly required machine.

Sometimes the upper works have to be really cleaned as the feed screw and half nut do not engage well. Also sometimes the half nut spring is bent a little and you have to bend it a tad back so that it engages.

All in all a great machine, I think I prefer the Standard B with Combo attachment to my Edison Home B with combo attachment. I think these Standard B's have better attachments.

I've always prefered the edision standard mode c phonograph with the ics attatchnent because of its repeater gear I think that makes it really cool thanks guys.
