I had to post this. I love the description in the listing mentioning the "custom made" crank!! What a hoot!! At least there is free shipping if you get this all together.

Might not need a new needle if the reproducer was mounted right side up...

What a great idea for a crank...

Re: Edison Home With Custom Made Crank
The pictures don't match either.
Notice in the first picture there is apparently
a wooden crank handle visible.
Then, we have the plumbing picture.
Those do not match.

Re: Edison Home With Custom Made Crank
I thought at first it was a wooden handle but it is the pipe from the pipe crank.
