Found - Wanted: Zonophone Crank

Post by Phono+888 »

Hi,

I am looking for a Zonophone Crank like the one pictured. I would prefer an original but will take a reproduction and continue my hunt for an original.

Thanks, Todd

Hi Jerry,

I already tried Justin. The S-Bend on the crank is too long. About an inch longer.

Thanks, Todd

Todd,

This is the small crank for the early flat bed A, B, C, D -- yes?

That's going to be tough to find loose, Todd. Even the replicas are few and far between.

I might be able to help you out with this. Quit a few year ago I purchased a repro. small type C Zono crank from Ron Sitko. Was impressed with it enuff to order a second one although I did not have a machine that needed one at that time. Still do not have a need for it and it has been stashed away somewhere in the house. Sure I have not sold it off, just have to find it. I would be willing to sell it but would be hard pressed to replace it if I ever did need one. It is yours for 175.00 Its not cheap. I paid Ron 125.00 for it + shipping so I am asking more than I paid for it but what usually happens is when I sell a rather hard to find item I end up later needing it. So if you decline that works for me as well. Had no intention of listing it until I saw you posting. Surprised Justin is not making the small one as well.

Hi Kevin,

Yes I would be happy to pay $175.00 if you can locate it. Let me know if you find it. If you do let me know what the total is...shipping it to Florida.

Thanks, Todd

Will find the crank as soon as I can and send you photos and dimensions. Think the small flat rate box is ten dollars and change. Would not be more than that and probable less of I do not go with the flat rate box.

Sounds good. I'll pay via PayPal friends and Family and forward the shipping address when you find the crank.

Thanks, Todd
