The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi,

I picked up a Stand X recently. It came with an Edison slotted crank. It kinda works, but not real well. I bought a Columbia slotted crank thinking that would work, but it doesn’t, so what does the crank for a Standard X look like and does anyone have one?

Thanks,

Stuart

Here’s the crank on mine. I accidentally bought a crank for a Berliner machine but someone on the Yankee Trader section hooked me up.

It uses a fall off crank because the winding shaft turns backwards while the motor is running. It allows the playing of records without the crank bumping into the underside of the record. The crank that Andy presented is a fall off crank.

Cool! Thanks to both of you! I’ll have to start looking for one..

Thanks again,

Stuart

Hi- I found this crank in a box marked "Standard" that includes motor and case parts for STM machines. It is slightly different than the one pictured above-- I have that one, too, but it belongs to a machine.

The shaft is ½" in diameter and the inside diam looks to be ⅜". If this will work for you, send me a PM.

Thanks-
