SOLD: Edison Triumph A/B project
Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2015 6:46 pm
My wife convinced me that I have way too many projects, so I'll try to let go of a few. 
For sale here is a transitional Edison Triumph A/B (2 minute) which still retains big parts of the type A upper works in a type B case. The motor runs nice and quiet, but the whole machine is in need of a good cleaning and lubrication. The oak case has a bit of damage damage on the top plate, but that should not be hard to repair. There is also a little piece broken off the bottom molding, which could be repaired or left as is. Some of the joints of the case are a bit loose and need to be re-glued. The "Edison" decal is actually in good shape, but barely visible because of the crazed finish on top. It should be possible to safe this original decal. The gold stenciling on the bed plate is worn, but there is not paint loss or rust that I could see. It seems the metal parts have been covered with wax at some point to protect them for storage. They should clean up well. It comes with a reproduction square hole crank. I took lots of pictures to show the condition as good as possible.
Asking $400. With a little bit of TLC you can have a strong machine for the cost of a Standard or Home. I do not want to ship it, but can deliver for free to Wayne in April or Union in June. Pickup in northern Delaware is also possible. Please PM for interest.
