The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi guys and galls. I am looking for a handle for a HMV 102, I got a machine with a cobbled together Frankencrank but really need the real deal. So if anybody has such a thing I would be delighted to take it off your hands.

You may contact member soundgen who is based in UK and may have one for sale.

Thanks. I´ll give it a shot.

If soundgen cannot help, they are usually to be found on UK eBay. Search the UK term "winding handle" rather than "crank".

I found one on Ebay, but for a price over 56 Euros I declined to follow up.
I´ll keep a lookout but I have had the one that came with the machine worked over and now it fits, sort of.

Hi ! Locally made good quality replica cranks with wooden handles are available in Pakistan for something like 20 USD including courier charges.
