Ask and ye shall receive -- which seems to be the theme of this email string. I've posted pictures on my site:
http://www.littlewonderrecords.com/picture-upload.html The first picture shows a photo from Leon's crank, marked up with the dimensions he so kindly provided. The pin is 1/16" in diameter (G), and is 3/8" long (F). The other three photos show the crank that Jim made for me. The only thing I wish was done differently, was the way the handle is attached to the crank -- it's kind of screwed in rather than moving freely, but it's only a very minor complaint. It was made quickly and shipped quickly. Jim is in Canada, so it took a day or two longer than otherwise. Best, Merle On Sat, 17 Jan 2004 10:12:05 -0800 "Loran T.

Alternatively, get some Locktite, put it on the screw threads and re-assemble. Don't tighten the screw so much that the handle binds.
