I had to post this. I love the description in the listing mentioning the "custom made" crank!! :lol: What a hoot!! :lol: At least there is free shipping if you get this all together.

Might not need a new needle if the reproducer was mounted right side up...

The pictures don't match either.
Notice in the first picture there is apparently
a wooden crank handle visible.
Then, we have the plumbing picture.
Those do not match.

I thought at first it was a wooden handle but it is the pipe from the pipe crank.
