I need a crank for my Columbia BKT. Ed

Where are you located? I might be able to help. There are two types of cranks. If the BKT has the round escutcheon like the Edison machines, it uses a flat bar crank. If the machine has the elliptical escutcheon, then it uses the bent rod type crank. PM me if you wish.

I am not familiar with the procedure for posting pm. My estucheon appears to be the elliptical type. The crank needs to screw onto the shaft. All the cranks I have are to large to go in the hole. Thank you for your reply and for any help you can give. I am in Oklahoma. Ed
