The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Greetings. I'm looking for an early Victor slotted crank, the kind that would go with a Victor C, E, Monarch, etc. If you have one or even a lead for me to pursue, please PM me. Also, if you just have a picture of one (I don't, unfortunately), would you be so kind as to post it here, perhaps even with measurements? I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

The early Victor machine cranks had different barrel lengths. The early ERJ M, Victor C, R and Victor Jr were 1 ½" long and the later style M, E, MS, etc 2 ½" long. At least on my machines anyway. The longer barrel will fit all machines and could be cut shorter if need be.

I'm sure some of the experts here will chime in.

Michael.
