Zonophone phonograph

Here’s a pic. There’s no pin that goes through the shaft.
Does anyone have a picture of what a correct crank looks like?

Wow! I did not expect to see that! Okay, take all my advice above, and toss it out.

That's odd mix of Victor & Zonophone designs. It appears that the "S" type crank is indeed what you need. Sorry if I've muddied the waters. I'll be quiet now...

David the crank shaft is hollow - like a tube - with a pin through it. It fits over the winding shaft and fits into the slot... If you can't find the correct one, you could make an adapter to accept a slotted crank...

Jerry I always appreciate your advice! I should’ve posted a picture of the motor before I asked about the crank

The crank really isn’t at the top of the list for the zonophone at the moment. I need to figure out what to do about this gear first. Plus I can always crank it up with a flathead screw driver.... it’ll take awhile but I suppose it would work.

Photos provided show what style crank you need. The motor winding shaft engagement pin is located .500 in from the end of the crank. Inside diameter of the crank shaft tube is .330 and the outside diameter of the shaft is .437. I do have a spare motor out of a late Victorized Zonophone Parlor machine. It is the same motor as yours only a single spring. Spring is broken or disingaged from the winding shaft but is complete. If interested I will have to dig it out and take a look at it but I remember the motor being in good condition except for the spring. Price is 100.00 plus shipping. I do not have a spare crank.

A huge thank you to Jerry Van for making a new gear for me. It arrived in the mail yesterday and I was able to get the machine running! (The new gear is the larger one)

Here’s a short video of it… it still needs some more work but at least it runs! I also need to find a crank

I'm as happy as you are to see it not only running, but making music! Glad to help!

Hi everyone,

Can someone please confirm which crank I need to complete this machine? Is it the one pictured in Kevin's post?

Thanks,

David,

Yes, Kevin's crank is the style you need. It won't be easy...

Thanks Jerry,

I am seeing if Brian P has one.. if not then I will look into replicas.
