The right-angled length of the crank is too long - in fact, not right-angled, if it is to clear the shelf on which the machine sits.

I missed the tone arm support! That's a good one.
The latch is kid of there, it's just not white.
I'l give you half a point about the "extra" bit of tone arm. I believe it is meant to be the soundbox tube. That's part of the non-phono issue.

That extra bit of tone arm is part of the poor perspective used in this image. You should not be able to see it at this angle. The phono and the chart on the wall use two different vanishing points. :roll:


I think that covers it.
A rendering suitable for a children's book, but a Victor Talking Machine made pamphlet?
