Wanted: Photos & Correct info/parts for my Victor XVI L-Door

[Kevin Clark]

Do have a spare gold female L Door 16 crank but it is for an oak machine.

Is there much of a difference between the crank for and Oak or a mahogany machine? If it is just the Crank handle, I'm sure that I could color it to match my machine. Right now I am really concerned about getting a correct crank that fits So that my Motor can be serviced. Please contact me with a price if your crank is for sale . Thank you for your response.

Here is my L Door 16. I purchased it close to 40 years ago in the early 80s. This, to date is the only Oak one I’ve come across.
Check out the original brake and light. This is exactly how I got it and how it sits today.

That's a beautiful original example! Thanks for sharing your photos with me! Does yours have the lever brake? I think that is the setup that I will need to look for.

It does not have the lever brake and there are no brake holes under the turntable

I had a crank I thought would work. I pulled it out of storage and compared it to my VTLA crank and my later L-Door crank. The Later L-Door crank was longer than the spare crank I had. My spare crank is the correct length for a VTLA. Sorry.

If you want the oak handle L Door 16 crank, $50.00. Gold plating is pretty much worn off as you can see in the photos.
The other crank is available for $70.00 and has nice gold plating and original mahogany knob. Both cranks are the same size. ⅜ diameter shaft. The mahogany crank is off an L Door serial number 38681 C. A couple of choices. Hope this helps.

I'll gladly take the shiny gold one with the mahogany knob for the $70. It matches What's I think an original One for my machine Would be from what I've seen . There just seems to be a slight difference In the Down shaft part leading to the knob on The other one. Maybe it's just me, but I'll take the shiny gold one with the mahogany handle For $70 plus whatever shipping fee there would be Please feel free to message me or Email me With Your Payment info, through PayPal friends if possible , And I will send the payment. I live in Navarre Ohio ZIP code for 4662 if you need that to compute shipping . Thanks again! Once I get that I will have all of the parts I need To complete my machine. I am so excited!

Looks like 15.50 postage cost USPS priority flat rate box medium size. The small flat rate box looked like it would not provide much room for padding.

Please provide full name and address and should send it off tomorrow. Will provide tracking numbers. Ships from Gig Harbor WA.
