Is it true that the signal cabin at Edgware Road is the oldest purpose-built signal cabin on the Underground? Is it also true that citysig knows where the frame at Edgware Road came from? Apparently he knows that it's second-hand  ;D La poste de reference. |

Probably as the back of it is under the road it is sinking down into the track (like Rickmansworth).
Dont know where the frame came from though.
Edgware Rd does have thinner levers than the likes of Harrow-on-the-Hill

Edgware Rd cabin was built in 1926. It had a K type frame then. Does it still? If so, it would be the oldest frame.
An older building is Whitechapel, built in 1907. This had a "new" N type frame in 1951. It was thought it was this one which had a frame originally intended for Edgware when the Northern Line extension to Bushey Heath was completed.

It's still a K type, though built to the B style spec.
