Is this the correct molding for a Edison Standard type "D" ?? I am seeing four different listings on Ebay for Type D standards. Two have the simpler double bottom molding as shown in my attachment and two have the larger fancier double plus molding on the bottom which I always thought was correct.
Since this has obviously refinished I'm assuming the cabinets in two of them has the wrong mechanism in it.
Thanks in advance

Re: Edison Standard type "D molding
I've believed that the early Standard D came is the tall case usually associated with the Standard B. The later, and maybe majority, of Model D machines came in a squatter cabinet with heavier molding. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: Edison Standard type "D molding
Jerry is correct - the early-production Edison Standard Ds used the low molding. My first Standard D (#676769) had the low molding, and I've seen several others - all with early-production numbers.
