Wanted: Winding Key Repair-Found

Post by mattrx »

I have a correct original crank for my Vic V but the oak handle is missing. Does anyone here know if it can be repaired, and if so by whom? I have a reproduction crank for the machine, but that is the only repro part on the machine and I would like to get it back to original.
Thanks,
Matt

I think Tom Rutkowski could do that for you. Google Gramp's Treasures or email him [email protected]
He does nice woodworking. His Columbia cranks were spot on and the wood handle was perfect.

Dave,
Thanks! I just sent him an email.

In case anyone in the future needs the same information, Tom says just send him the crank you have and a picture of what wooden handle you need the new one to look like, and he'll fix it for around $10. Thank you Dave, for the information. Beats the heck out of over $100 for an original crank when you already have a broken one.
