From the limited view of the picture it looks like a Triumph F repainted bedplate top works. If it happened to be a Model G, that would be a real find.

The data plate clearly shows this to be a Model F.
Being No.89036, it's one of the first Fs, and it's equipped with the 2-spring motor which is why the controls differ from earlier Triumphs.

Would the case be wrong?

With the latest close up of the ID plate it also looks like the original paint.

That was my same question.....
I would think that a Model "F" would have the later style wooden case.... No??

Being a Model A cabinet, it's not proper for a Model F mechanism.

That's what I thought. A model F in a model A case? And it is a 2 spring motor.

The Model F mechanism with the 2 spring motor is perfectly legitimate. And the Model A cabinet seems fine too. They just don't belong together.
