Triumphs
were the top of the line for Edison home use. Other machines
were offered for the more elite, but
Triumph was the top machine for the
general buying public. With the large
powerful, three spring "Trident"
Motor the Triumph was strong, long
running, quite and relatively
trouble free.
As you can see this is a large machine, it
was offered with many options
of horns, reproducers and misc.
This
machine, as you can see is a real find, all original finish on cabinet
and
bedplate,
(as far as I can tell), there is some greening
of the varnish
from age.
the
decals show little wear
and are bright as you can see. The motor and upper
works are very quiet and work
very well.
An
original Diamond "B" reproducer is provided for the Blue Amberol
records.
This means you cannot
play any wax records. The Diamond "B" is the very best
sound reproducing and loudest reproducer.
The original finish has been hand polished to a high luster.
All
is original on this machine, with the exception of the horn, and
crane
which are
reproduced.
-A
WORD
ABOUT REPRODUCED HORNS -
We
all would like to find that proverbial mint machine in
Aunt Tilly's closet.
Early
collectors found these machines
and were able to buy
them
cheaply. We are now finding the
machines that need
substantial
work. The horns usually are
rusty (often through the
metal), they are dented, from
small dings to large
folds.
and where used as funnels for fuel
and other things.
To
restore an original takes a lot of skill and work, and when
you get
through
you have a dimpled, wavy, repainted less than
correct original that
I prefer not to put on my machines as
representing what the
makers and skilled workers made.
The
Reproduced horns we sell and use are made exactly like
the originals, less all
the rust, dents and high prices.
The
Price for this exceptional machine that has been gone through and needs
nothing else but to show off
and enjoy is
$1950.00
