Reproduction Parts Vendor
Does anyone know where I might find reproduction cranks? Or reasonable originals ,I am in need of a threaded Vic 1 crank and a slotted Vic Jr crank, I called and spoke with Dwayne at Wyatt's Musical Americana and he doesn't have them ,(I hadn't spoke to Dwayne in many years it was nice to hear he is doing well) also I have learned that Ron Sitko's stock will be liquidated by Stanton's Auction.

Re: Reproduction Parts Vendor
Check with JAS Antiques (vendor ladanjus on eBay.) That is an excellent source for cranks.
I wish someone would have been able to pick up where Mr. Sitko left off; he made some of the best parts in the price range.

Re: Reproduction Parts Vendor
I can personally vouch for JAS Antiques reproduction cranks. I recently bought a slotted one for a Vic II humpback and am very pleased with it.

Re: Reproduction Parts Vendor
Someone should actually try to buy out Ron's business and keep it going... If those parts go to Stantons, they might not bring much and won't stay together for future repair needs...

Re: Reproduction Parts Vendor
A number of months ago I had spoken to Mr Sitko about buying parts for something or other (I think it was a friend's Grafonola D-2) and I asked him if he had ever considered teaching anyone else how to make parts.
He said he didn't anticipate leaving the business anytime soon--of course, neither did any of us--so unfortunately no one has the business.
I hope someone is able to put the tooling to use that he was using to make these parts.

Re: Reproduction Parts Vendor
Ron Haring has a large inventory of cranks in his collection. The real deal, not reproductions. I have never seen so many loose cranks before. Hopefully, he can sell you one.
