The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Got my Godfather all set up, but the repro crane he bought is one piece and junk. Not only does it not look right but it didn't hold the horn right and there's nothing to keep it from spinning.

So if someone has another better reproduction crane I'd love to get one for him.

I tried calling Ron Sitko and left a message but haven't heard back.

Ron Sitko sells a very nice reproduction Cygnet crane. His contact info is in the Links section of the Forum. Jerry Blais

Yeah I tried calling...no luck so I left a message. I'll try to call him again this afternoon. Any idea on his price?

I just talked to him this afternoon to get a spring and other stuff requested from him.

This is his number right? 1 518-371-8549? Ima call him as soon as I get to the office.

That's correct

The crane size depends on the carriage it will be attached to on the standard machine. A horizontal reproducer carriage takes one type of bend on the crane and a angled carriage hakes a different bend on the crane. Make sure you tell them what type of carriage you have if it is horizontal or angled. Tom B
