WANTED: Victor III Crank
Posted: Thu Dec 04, 2014 6:15 pm
I recently purchased a complete Vic III, but the crank didn't arrive with it. Apparently, the contracted shipper either lost it or somebody swiped it from the machine before it was packed and shipped to me.
The seller has since sent me a reproduction crank in an attempt to remedy the problem.
It's a ¼" female threaded version with an oak handle. I'm not sure if the crank for the III is the same as other oak models such as the I, II, or V. I'm specifically looking for an original crank as the repro one on it lacks the patina of the rest of the machine. It probably shouldn't bother me, but I paid a generous sum for a fixer-upper solely because it was supposed to be complete. Now I can't help but feel that I've been swindled.
C'est la vie.
If you have an original that you'd like to sell, please PM or email me.
