Many years ago, I purchased a threader at the hardware store, and I would
cut random cranks (such as from Victrolas, and suitcase machines) down to
the size needed with a hack saw, for whatever machine I had that might be
missing one, and then thread it. If you can't find just what you need, this
The 2 minute cylinders made of the wax amberol wax are that way, but the
regular ones are very durable. In 2015 all the 2 minute Edison cylinders will
be over 100 years old and look at all of the ones still around. If the wax
amberol wax was stored properly they are not that bad either.
Bruce,
In the case of a machine like yours even if if there are twice as many existing
as are currently known it is a very hard to find machine.

Steve, I agree completely and hope for collectors interested in these
machines that at least a few more will be found. The thing that
Like The Edison C-2, I thought it was so rare I would never hope to
have one. I have had 3. And Chuck Azzalina had 7 in his basement last
time I was there to fix. He started keeping count thinking the number
surviving was in the 10's and stopped at 200 or so known. Same with
C-1. There were 2 know
Barry,
With regards to machines like the Amberola 60 and 80 I have tried to research
how many were made or left and so far I have not had much luck. I think it is
great to see how many machines were made and how many survive.
Like The Edison C-2, I thought it was so rare I would never
I hope someday to own a C-2, I think it is just an amazingly cool machine.
The rarity does not really even factor into it at all. The combination
pickup for lateral DD, the radio technology, the fact it is the end of
an era. I actually like the C-2 better than the C-1 only in that the C-1

Was searching through some of the Doc's the park service has published of
the Edison site and found a few interesting comments among them in memo's
and wondered if it was really true..

I just came across a Victor XVI that needs some love. Looking for a gold
exhibition reproducer, the u-tube, or goose neck in gold, a crank, and 4
casters.
This is a model/type H made from 1913 to 1917.

I've got a home-made one that may be too long but it will get you going if
you need it. Best bet is to contact George Vollema.

Using a die to cut threads on a shaft is easier than trying to drill a
centered hole in a crank and tapping that hole. If it were an unbent shaft,
you could make the hole using a lathe but since the crank is already formed,
you'd need access to a really big lathe, I think.

What would we all do without George and a scant few people on this list when
we need parts or service? This list provides a wonderful service.
