Edison Mystery Parts

Post by CDBPDX »

I just got a nice group of Edison(?) parts with a bunch of small stuff I needed but the larger pieces are from a machine I do not recognize. Can anybody help with identification?

Thanks! Cliff

Maybe an Ediphone?

I was thinking along those lines too, with the nickel plated lifter lever being a common part of many Ediphones/Business Machines. Haven't found anything yet that matches exactly, either Ediphone or phonograph.

The nickel piece is similar to a Pathé cylinder machine lift mechanism. It could be from a European machine of some kind.

That curved piece with the gray wrinkle finish is from an Ediphone motor, the governor adjusting arm to be precise.
