SOLD: Peter Pan Camera-Type Portable Complete $135

[Crank_it_up]

I'm offering some recent finds mostly portables for sale. This one is a Peter Pan camera type phonograph in a black leather-like case. It is complete but for some reason I cannot get all of the parts to fold up inside the case. The crank fits the winding shaft but it seems a little long so maybe it is not correct and causing issues getting it all tucked inside?? It runs and plays fine but the speed control and on/off switch don't seem to be operating as they should. I didn't do anything except dust it off, assemble it and it runs OK. See the pictures for details. The leather strap is intact and the condition of the outside is nice. The crank escutcheon doesn't appear to be correct but does fit the crank. I am open to offers on all of the machines as a package deal and save on shipping. Shipping will be actual costs. Payment is preferred to be check or money order but PM for options. PM for more pics or commit to buy. Thanks, Joe

Will this play 12” records?

The crank (winding handle to us Brits!) is a monkey puzzle to fit into my earlier type Peter Pan until you know which of 4 ways round and side-to-side positioning is correct. By coincidence I uploaded a video of it today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrLJqU2LU-Q Fantastic little machines, for what they are. By our standards over here, that's a seriously attractive price for yours!

While a 12” record fits and the reproducer reaches far enough, the mechanism is not capable of playing all the way through. As described the brake and or speed control are not working properly so possibly the spring is fine or possibly it’s a combination of problems. Here’s a pic of it with a 12” record atop. Yes the machine is underneath. Thanks, Joe
