I have a 1930s Japanese Mikky Phone miniature phonograph which is missing the crank. The crank would be a miniature drop-off or slotted crank which I think is _very_ similar to those in Swiss-made miniatures such as the Kompact (or other Plaza Music machines with Swiss motors) or the Thorens Excelda. Many aspects of the Mikky Phone motor seem to be almost dead ringers mechanically to these instruments. Would anyone on this list have an original or reasonable substitute crank for sale? I'd be astonished and pleased if you did, and even if you don't any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated (such as a scale photo of the right crank so I could fashion something).
