If anyone has one of these they would be willing to sell, please let me know. This crank was used on some of the smaller portable Columbia machines, particularly the 203 and some of the Japanese models. Thank you---

Never mind, turns out there was a crank shoved into the horn when it arrived, unnoticed by the seller.

Hi Jim-- Your machine looks and sounds great! I've never really gotten into the later portables. I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of sound. Thanks for sharing the video.
