Hi billymurray.
I'm not familiar with the term "short case". "Tall case" on the other hand refers to the case that the model B and the early "C" and "D" machines had. A picture of what you have will probably give me all I need to I.D. what mechanism you need.
Regards,
Martin

It is the case/model where the crank hole escutcheion meets the top of the case as opposed to being farther down the side of the case

My guess is that you have a New Style case for the Model A. It is shorter than the Tall style. It should have a Banner decal on the front. The bedplate should attach to the wood bedplate frame with either 4 screws (at the corners) or 3 screws (2 in front and 1 in the back, middle). Here is a link for an article that will allow you to visually compare the different cases and models: www.antiquephono.org/spotters-guide-edison-standard-phonograph/Good luck with your project!

Martin, You are correct, I looed at the page and it is referred to as a Standard Model A in the new style. Now for the hard part, locating a set of works for my case. I have carried this thing around for 30 years, I suppose I should get rid of it or make a machine. And before I forget, thank you.

The works can eventually be found, but, not cheaply. They come up occasionally on ebay. You might be better off selling the case you have.
