Looking to buy a lift lever (I'm assuming that's the correct name for it) For a Edison B-19 Diamond disc Player.

Im attaching a pic to more clearly show what i am looking for.


Thanks in advance

Kirk

Kirk,

This is the lift lever off the W-250 I am parting out.
I do not know if this is a universal part.
Does another member know if it this will fit a B-19?

The dimensions will start at the top of the handle as pictured...

3" from top of handle to bottom of the metal.
That's 2" for the handle and 1" for the metal.

4 ⅝" from left to right.
That's 1 ⅛" for the curved metal seat and 3 ½" for the the rest of the shaft.
The shaft is ½" diameter. The shaft has a 1 ¾" groove.

On the shaft are...
The maximum length of the curved "shut-off finger" is 2 ⅛". This cannot be removed from the shaft.
The black spacer is removable.
The brass collar is attached to the tension spring and is adjustable and removable.



$5 plus shipping and it's yours.

James.

Since Edison had standardized their mechanisms several years before the W-250 was introduced, I am pretty sure it will fit...

It will fit. The finish will be different, "gun metal" from the W&M vs. nickeled on the Chalet but on such a small piece would not be very noticeable.
