Hello all

I am searching for a Busy Bee Grand disc machine crank for a friend in Europe. He has an incorrect crank, and asked me if I knew anyone who had one so we could take measurements and have one made, but perhaps someone has an original available?

Thanks so much.

I am pretty sure that reproductions ar readily available. I would ask Ron Sitko.

The Busy Bee, Aretino, and Harmony used the same crank. These are really hard to find. If Ron Sitko has a reproduction crank, go for it. In a pinch, an Edison S shaped slotted crank will work.
