Re: WANTED: Edison Amberola 75 Original Crank
A 75 is essentially a 50 with record storage, so a crank from a 50 should also work just fine. A crank from a 30 will be too short.

Re: WANTED: Edison Amberola 75 Original Crank
Just an FYI... You had me wondering... I have a Factory Pristine Amberola 50 and also a very nice Amberola 75...
I just removed both cranks and measured them both. They were identical. Same size and length.
It looks like the 30 is the only one with the different smaller size crank. The 50 and the 75 seem to be the same identical crank.

Re: WANTED: Edison Amberola 75 Original Crank
"52089" is right... The 50 and the 75 are the same identical machines (Both have Dual Spring Barrels), just different cabinets.
However, The 75 has a way wider cabinet.. That's why the crank when installed on the 50 sticks out quite a bit....
I guess that it was another Edison "Cost Saving Measure" by using the same crank for both models...
Makes sense.

is this the correct crank?
I am not convinced, I thought it was bigger
