Gramophone help needed

Post by neenudavis »

I recently purchased a gramophone . The original owner said that they put handed it in Indonesia in 1979 as a used gramophone . I tried getting more information on the gramophone with the logo, but no information is available . The gramophone is missing the crank , I am trying to get a replacement crank and not sure what to buy. Please find some pictures attached , any information on the gramophone and replacement crank would be helpful . Also is there any way to know if my gramophone is an original or a replica ?

The tag on your machine is a Lindstrom tag. If you will search Parlophone, you will find some information. If you will post your pictures in the British and European section, members there may be able to tell you a little more.
I have a Parlophone machine as well and think there is a site that has a catolog listed. I''ll see if I can find that information and share the link here.
Hope this helps, Jan

Thanks for the information. Do you have any idea where I might be able to get a crank from ?

I don't know where you can find an original crank for this machine but, I'm sure someone will be able to help you find one that will work. You will need to post a wanted post in the Yankee Trader. Read the instructions on how to post in that area as there is a specific format to follow. To be able to help you out, we will need to know whether you need a male (threads on the outside) or female (threads on the inside) crank. The diameter. The measurement from the crank shaft to the cabinet and the measurement from the crank escutcheon to the cabinet bottom.
