Not in the same league, of course, but my Spanish Compañía del Gramófono HMV194 reentrant gramophone has a no. 2 (probably assembly number) engraved in the edge of the motorboard, and repeated in the cabinet inner part, horn chamber, engraved in a screwed metal plate.
Maybe I'm a millionaire!

I own the second oldest Edison Triumph, Serial Number 30360 dating from mid 1901, on the APS database.
If someone offered me $8000 for it I would probably bite their hand off.

Re: Bet y’all ain’t got an Edison Standard this early.
Roger, an earlier Triumph has recently been added to the database, so now yours is the third-earliest Triumph documented there. If I were you, I'd take $7500!epigramophone wrote: Wed Feb 17, 2021 9:13 am I own the second oldest Edison Triumph, Serial Number 30360 dating from mid 1901, on the APS database.

Yeah I understand the price is out of the range of the average collector but it’s the 4th one! And it still exists 123 years later!Curt A wrote: Wed Feb 17, 2021 8:06 pm I can't wait to see all of the new Edison Standard eBay listings for $8,000...

Re: Bet y’all ain’t got an Edison Standard this early.
My point is that run of the mill Standards are common and cheap, but uninformed eBay sellers will now have a listing they can refer to that "justifies" a high listing price for a common machine, not realizing the difference between a common Standard and a very early one...

He says he is going to replace the step screw so it can play more cylinders. Where is the step screw located and how does it impact cylinder size ????
