It just so happen I was searching this site for crank handles and came upon this Topic. I was the winner of this phonograph. I just posted a WANTED topic for the handle lol.Curt A wrote:You missed it and it went for $27.88? How does that happen? Since you claimed "dibs", I passed on it, but would have bid $100 and skipped the rosary...VanEpsFan1914 wrote:I missed it too...family was saying the rosary. No sweat.

(Which proves how important they really are! )

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Very good job! (Finally got out of the living room at 9:03, family wanted to BS after prayers about work and more useless junk, and I was entirely unable to put the rather high bids on it which I intended. Life happens.)
Glad it went to a Forum collector!

Re: Anyone ever hear of a Triumphon Portable?
Competition is competition!
I'm TELLING you check inside it for that crank when it gets here. I found half a Brunswick tonearm in a Brunswick missing half its tonearm, and a crank in a 2-65 that was missing a crank, and a notepad and a Stevie Wonder 45 in a Victrola upright that really didn't need a notepad or a 45 record anyway.

Re: Anyone ever hear of a Triumphon Portable?
Hoped you'd find it in there!
I bet the broken governor is why it's in such nice shape. It probably conked out and they just stored it. This thing ought to run fine.
Are you going to rebuild the reproducer?
