[Phono-L] Edison Standard E question

[Ron L'Herault]

I think the "block off consisted in removing the two pins that would allow a
direct connection between the drive pulley and the feed screw.

Subject: [Phono-L] Edison Standard E question

I see in Frow that the 4-minute only Edison Standard model E had the  
same basic mechanism as the combination model D, but with the 2-minute  
gearing blocked off.  Can anyone tell me if the 2-minute gears are  
there, and can be put in service without damaging anything through  
modification?

If the gears aren't there, can it be set up to work in 2-minute mode  
if the 2-minute gearing is found?  Finally, if this can be done, will  
the 2-minute gearing from the Model D make it work, or possibly  
anything borrowed from an Edison retrofit combination gear set?

Thanks in advance for any insight on this.

Andy
