hi all i am looking for ba 1931 you made me love you and 5095 clap hands contact me off the list if you have either and are interested in selling thanks rob From Phonofred Thu Feb 26 20:37:52 2004 From: Phonofred (Fred Williams) Date: Sun Dec 24 13:10:34 2006 Subject: [Phono-L] Little Wonder Phonograph References: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Oh no Ray, I sure hope you are wrong I've been looking for one of those little cranks for almost three years, I finally found one among the odds, and ends of another collector. When I started looking for it in March, 2001 Jerry Blais, and Doug miller both sent me photocopies of the cranks with their machines. I still have the pictures, and I am sure glad those guys helped me out. Ray, I have to agree with Merle. The Little Wonder came with a crank. A simple little crank with a crimp in the end that slides into the machine, It has a simple little straight black barrel on other end where you grip the crank. I really do still have the pictures if anyone needs them. Thanks to Jerry, and Doug.

However, if you look at the photo of the Little Wonder on p. 192 of Reiss' book, you will see the machine with a KEY, rather than a crank. Is it possible that the key on this L.W. from the Walter Bellm collection is a repro? If so, why wouldn't a repro crank been used? I am not sure this matter has been settled.
