The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I have a bunch of of parts in a box that I’m not using currently. Hopefully someone here can use them!

Cranks: not sure what machines each go to. I think the both go to Columbia’s?
• oak handle $15
•black handle sold

Speed control mechanisms: $15 each. (the plates are $8 each)

On/off switches: $10each

Escutcheons: $10 each

The small crank with the black handle is for a single-spring portable such as a Silvertone, Birch, Conley Phonola, or the like. This motor was also used back in the 1920s and the crank should be fine for winding earlier ones.

The wooden-handled crank is nice for testing a Columbia Graphophone motor such as an older horn machine or early 1910s tabletop. But I really do not know what it would have fit originally.

The round brakes go to European machines, the regular generic brakes fit all sorts of off-brands or portables, and the speed control parts look to be the same as used on a large number of machines.

This is a really good batch of spares and should be able to fit up a large number of phonograph models.

thank you! the person who passed them on to me was a very kind collector

The crank Escutcheon on the bottom right of both photos is sold.

Bump!

BUMP!

the crank with the black handle is also sold

Bump

Would any of the escutcheons have the following dimensions?

crank hole: to fit ½" diameter shaft
mounting holes: 1.25" apart

Whoever refinished my Pathé Model 100 upright before I got it (in the middle 1970s!) removed its escutcheon and didn't put it back. Perhaps the time has come to rectify that situation.

I've never seen the actual escutcheon that would have been on a Model 100, but, this machine being hardly a hotly sought collector's item, I imagine any escutcheon that fits will be better than no escutcheon.

The crank esch in the bottom left hand side of the top photo has been sold!

BUMP
