I just purchased an Edison Triumph with repeater. I believe it an A/B transition model. Now for a road trip to pick it up. Will post more pictures later this week.

Pretty cool. I wonder how well the attachment worked?

Once properly adjusted, they work perfectly.

Here is a link to it playing a cylinder.

Nice machines to have a repeater on. I have a repeater on my B Triumph. The niche in the straight I believe indicates that your repeater was factory fitted.

Rich, I can't quite make out the serial number... Can you provide it?

Thanks,
George P.

That'd be a great attachment for my Triumph E with Cygnet horn! edisonplayer

I know what you mean. I wish it was on my Ttiumph Model-F.

George, the serial number of the Triumph is 46864. Came you date it for me.

Thanks Rich.

I'm still working on the precise dating of Triumphs by serial number. Unfortunately, any Edison Phonograph that used a Spring Motor/Triumph top works (E.G.: Class Ms/Balmorals/other variants, coin-ops, etc.) shared the Spring Motor/Triumph serial numbering. However, the A/B Triumphs like this one appeared only between February and July 1906, so that helps. Based upon the serial number, I would estimate this one as April 1906.
