Edison William and, Mary with LP attachment

[billcahill]

Hi. I picked this up several years back, and, am just getting back onto it. It's the William and Mary dd with lp attachment. Unfortunately, I only have the standard reproducer for it, but, have also added my "Dance reproducer" to the enjoyment.
Unfortunately, someone had cut the legs off years ago.
When I got it, the motor was in pieces.











I am going to re finnish it, and, am considering someday getting the LP reproducer, and, some lp records for it. Both reproducers are fine, and the dance is one I have had for over 20 years.
The record on turntable is one of my favorites.

Looks like you have your work cut out for you.. I too just got a new toy, a very dark William and Mary Console. I had one many years ago, it was my first edison. I cleared out all of them way back and have started over a few years ago. I wanted the console again and a fellow I know that works on phonographs traded me a very nice london upright I had for it. Now I am stuck with a pretty iffy dark finish and at the least major refinishing work to the top at the least. Not sure how to proceed exactly on that dark finish. I wish I had the lighter tones such as this one.

Last night I spent some time cleanning, and, oiling.
Brake pad had been replaced, and, it's not working.
A rat had chewed half the muffler ball, so, I need one of them.
Yeh, it's a mess, but, I love it.....
