Finding a gold slotted crank will be really difficult. I'd suggest finding a skinny Victrola crank with the same distance from the mahogany wood knob to the turn. The crank will be too long so take it to a machinist and have it cut to the correct length, drilled to the correct depth, and cut a slot. Finally, have it plated when you plate the elbow. Plating will be expensive to wait until you have all the needed parts before plating.

Great find!

I believe Ron Sitko, (RIP), used to carry the gold cranks and gold horn elbows. They were bright plated, which in this case would be a good match. Now, it's just a question as to whether or not the current proprietors of Ron's business have any stock in these items.
