The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi All, Please does anyone have a loose winding key of the pattern shown, in their spares box ? It was used on most key - wind cylinder phonographs made by the Swiss firm of Thorens. Has a female thread similar to some other winding keys , notably on small Columbia graphophones and Pathé cylinder phonographs , but has quite a distinctive shape and as Thorens products were of high quality workmanship , their keys were heavily nickel plated , as can be seen in the picture. If anyone has a loose key of this pattern they are willing to sell me , I would appreciate the offer -- please send me a message. Take care and regards Dulcetto
