Got this Triumph B on the way. Should be here today. Has the cool repeater on it.

Nice. How much did it set you back???? It looks to be a Mahogany one too!

Hope it arrives safely.

Congrats! Looks like it'll clean up very nicely!

Best,

It is oak. Pretty pattern on it. I have 4 Triumphs now. Going to have to sell one. Don't need 2 model B's. I hope this one will be my work horse with shaving and recording. I should add, if I ever find a good recorder?

Beautiful oak ...
Is that a repeating attachment i see?

Great machine, I love the fantastic original condition of it, it would be a keeper in my collection. A nice special horn for it will really make a nice package.
Congrats

Best Regards, Larry

That's a very nice machine. Congratulations!

Forgive my ignorance, but I have a question about the repeater attachment. I understand that on the smaller models it was often used for the ICS language training. Is that the same for the large Triumph, or was there a different purpose? Who would want to hear the same cylinder over and over again?

Thanks
Andreas

The ICS mechanism only repeats a few grooves. This is the model D repeater and returns the whole carriage to the beginning to repeat the entire record.

Beautiful machine. It has all the bells and whistles. Is it set up for a straight horn or a Cygnet one? It will be the pride of your collection.
