[Phono-L] Details, details

Hi gang,

I've got a couple of machines for which I need some detailed pictures.  I
need to see what the pulley end and the bearing end of the feed screw on an
Edison Home Model F look like, in particular, what is(or is not)screwed into
the various holes.  I'd also love a picture of the disassembled speed change
mechanism.  I have an F here that has H-D on the pulley and mandrel and I am
wondering if it is cobbled together.  There does not seem to be any way to
make it play 2 min records though.

I would also like to see what the interior of an inexpensive Sonora table
top machine looks like.  I'm going to have to make a new board for the rear
of the motor board compartment, the one that holds the tone arm.  I will
eventually need a tone arm if I can make the board and I will need the metal
plate through which the lid prop rod passes.  Which reminds me, what is the
size shape and position of the notch in that back board near the tone arm?
There is a slot cut out of the inside wood which directs the prop rod as the
lid raises and lowers.  What a neat, cheap way to do that.
