WANTED: Crank for United motor, female thread

Post by VanEpsFan1914 »

I'm looking for a crank handle from a United motor. I'm not sure if it's a generic fit or not as it's a female crank with a somewhat larger diameter than the average male thread Victrola crank. This is for an old 2-spring United Air Cleaner motor found in my mid 1920s "Northome" consolette.

It doesn't have to be the large console-style crank. Let me know if you need me to measure the threads on the motor. I already lost the rubber grommet inside the escutcheon but the motor is still there all right.

I am also looking for a preferably unmarked E. Toman reproducer similar to those found on Birch, Conley Phonola, and other cheap portables. As they fit a Victrola arm, and Victrola reproducers fit this machine, I should be able to snap one on without any trouble. Sold my last one awhile ago. If anyone has something in the parts stash that would be a huge help.

(EDIT; reproducer found, still looking for a crank threaded ⅜ female)

Thanks
Charles F.

Bump. Still no crank. This is the basic "off brand" crank on a great many cheap uprights. If you have something in your scraps I would like to make a deal with you for it.

Revising listing & bumping it. Looking for ⅜" female thread crank, 5" long, 5" throw or so. One from a Brunswick upright would work fine. It's for starting a United motor in a small off-brand.


Edit: Revised listing, already got a reproducer

Thanks
