It sounds like it might be a tightly wound heavy spring material. If there is some slight misalignment between motor and crank hole, it would act like a cheap(?) universal joint to allow winding.

I previously asked George however, he didn't have the part. Now that I have the more specific phono style / type, I will ask again. The other fellows contact info would be appreciated. Any reference or links to this model would help.

George Volema at Great Lakes may be your best bet. There is also a fellow in Wisconsin, who is an avid Phonograph Collector, who has over the years managed to obtain, many odd and obscure parts as well. When I was looking for an odd rare part (the swivel pin) for a Gibson Traveling Tone arm, he was the only one I could find in the entire U.S. Phonograph world that seemed to have one. When I come up with his name I will forward it to you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Maffit" <[email protected]> To: "Antique Phonograph List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2012 9:25:41 PM Subject: [Phono-L] Sonora Tonalie part needed Phono List: I am looking for another "needle in a haystack" however, this group has always helped. I had a motor repaired with new springs and apparently I misplaced or lost a part! First of all, it is a Sonora floor model. On the underside of the lid it has: Tonalie sonora Clear as a bell I think it is a late 20s model as it has a similar cabinet design as my Victor VV-8-35, thus my guess at the year. Any info on the machine in general? I am missing an "extension" for the crank which attaches to the motor winding shaft and, if I recall correctly, is about 4' to 6' in length. The crank threads on the extension allowing the crank to function the distance from the right cabinet wall to reach the motor. The extension part looked like it was made from a wire or rod wound around to make the extension. So: Has anyone have an idea of what the *** I am trying to explain / describe? Moreover, anyone have one to part with? Or a workable substitute.
