Edison DD Player Crank Question - Help?

Post by brianu »

During a recent move I misplaced the crank for my Edison Army Navy machine... I was hoping that someone here might have one of these and would be able to post a photo of the crank next to a measuring stick of some sort... I’m sure it’s in a box with other cranks or things, I just want to make sure I’ll be using the right one... thanks.

Here you go - -

Looks like about a 5" shank and just over a 5" drop.

You beat me to it George! :lol:

The shaft itself is thicker than regular Edison DD cranks.

Measurement of that below:

Hope you find it!

I hadn't noticed the thicker shaft, but you're right, Bob!
