WELL! What a strange journey it has been! The grille is done, and toned, and I am EXHAUSTED.
So, let's take a short journey back in time to see what this monster was when it was a monster:
Many thanks again to John Maeder, George Paul, and Tim Fabrizio for their assistance in getting Old #2 back up on its feet.
And now, um, close your eyes!
BAM!
And now, to approach the Edison Historic Site and see if they have any further documentation in their paper archive!

...And "Number Two" has been resurrected exactly a century (probably to the month) after it was originally built! Congratulations, Wyatt!

Wyatt,
I’m not sure I want to know how many hours that took you to complete, but the results are quite impressive, and I am sure that they were well worth the time (and that you’re very proud of your accomplishment).
Great job, and thank you for sharing all of the in-progress photos!

This is so well done. You should make a little book that you hide in the phonograph to document its transformation. it adds the collector to its history .
