WANTED: HMV Crank Handle

[Bruce]

I am restoring an HMV portable and need a wooden handle for the crank.
The handle needs to be 1 ⅜ inchs long

Thank you

Ron Sitko sells four different types of wooden crank handles. I'm sure he has one that will fit your crank.

Thank you for the advice.
I checked with Ron a couple weeks ago and he did not have anything that would work.
I was hoping someone would have an old spare crank or wood handle sitting around looking for a new home.

Bruce,

I'm currently working on fixing a crank where that whole piece including the metal rod for the wooden handle is missing. I honestly didn't know which of Ron's handles would work best, so I ordered all four of them. At $2 a piece I felt it best to just try them out which would look best. I just got them in the mail. The three smaller ones are in that 1 ⅜" range, maybe a tad longer, but the hole is recessed where the screw goes. Looking at your crank I think the small Victor handle might be a good fit. Just a thought...

Good luck with your search.
Andreas
