Hi folks,
I found a reference to the original service manual for Edison's "new disc motors" that gave an excellent, step by step, procedure for setting the reproducer height.
Does anyone have a reference to service manuals for the earlier DD motors/machines before the factory fire? I have an A-200 that I'm just starting to work on, and I already know that the reproducer lift mechanism is out of whack.
Thanks!
John

I am not sure which machine that is, but have you googled the manual for your type machine? I did that and found both the disc and amberola type motor and adjustment literature that I could print out.

John,
Is your bed plate painted brown with the gilt edging and lifts on pins from the side?

Hey Bill,
No, this bed plate looks black to me, no gilt edging. It does seem to be made to tilt up from left to right.
This model is the A-200 Queen Anne, according to Frow, and was in production and distributed in 1913-14 prior to the fire. After the fire, they retrofitted all remaining stock with "improved" motors, and called them B-200's.
Looking at the service manual for the "new" disc motors, the reproducer height was adjusted by means of a horn pivot screw near the bottom of the lift shaft. The earlier model I'm working on is not designed similarly, so I assume there was a different procedure for setting the height. I can probably figure it out trial and error, but just thought someone else had already done or had a factory reference.
Thanks.
John
