WANTED: Female crank for EARLY Columbia Grafonola (please see pictures)

Post by Zenger »

Greetings, everyone. I'm looking for a crank for my 1911 early-style Columbia Grafonola Nonpareil. This is a female crank with a distinctive wooden handle/knob that is shorter and wider than the typical Grafonola crank's. Other early Grafonola models from the same time period, like the Mignon, first-style De Luxe, etc. should have the same crank. The crank's reach is about 7 inches (though longer would be fine), and the outside diameter at the end is 7/16". If you have one you'd be willing to sell, please let me know. Thanks!

It looks like there's one in this group of cranks on E-bay:

I don't have anything. I just pointed out the same eBay auction that "edisonphono" did.

Are you looking for a Gold or Nickel plated crank?

This one has a large diameter of .469”, (15/32”), and appears to be Brass.
