Hello everyone, I thought I would share my triumph model B with 2/4 gearing and repeater. Just got it back together after having it re pinstriped. It took forever to get the 2/4 gearing and repeater to function properly. It’s playing very smoothly now.

Beautiful! Perfect!

That looks awesome.

What a coincidence! I’m going to make a thread about the same machine pretty soon! Congratulations on yours!

I look forward to seeing your post, I think this is a unique machine to cover. Really neat when they are adjusted properly.

Looks terrific! Jerry B.

Very nice, Josh. Here's my Edison Triumph model B in a video I posted years ago on my YouTube channel. Looking forward to seeing yours in action and any others who care to share theirs.

Congratulations on a wonderful restoration. As you may know, getting the Model D Repeating Attachment to work with a 2-4 min model is quite an achievement. When the machine is "on" the 4-minute setting, the traveling mechanism is not moving very much (laterally) and it's hard for the arm to get the proper "kick" to lift the arm.
