The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Greetings,

I just wonder if anyone has a close up pic (or dimensions) of a crank for a 211z Grafonola (1946)?

I found one the other day without a crank and may try and adapt something if need be. Seems like a screw-driver spade type interface...

If any Australian collectors have a spare that may be of interest too..

Many thanks,

Stephen

Pictures of your machine would help...

Curt is correct. Post a photo. Ther are a lot of well informed people here, but I'll bet very few folks will recognize your phonograph by its model number.

That's a British export portable?

Thanks for the return - I actually resolved the problem quicker than expected as a friend had a crank in his junk box which he was able to pass on. It probably isn’t the original style but it does the job and fits perfectly. I now need to replace the gaskets in the reproducer.

Thanks again and here is a pic of the machine in question. From the info online I gather it is from 1946. A very basic machine but fun to use

Thanks again,

Stephen
