plays, but unwinds

[hansklammer]

Hi Everyone...I'm new to the board.
A family in town needed someone to get their Edison C-250 working again....so I volunteered.
It had no reproducer, but I was able to purchase one.
The unit sounds great....but the winding crank "unwinds" 
As long as you hold the crank...it works fine.
Any ideas on this one??

Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys,
After watching several Dyslexic Genius Hurt videos YouTube, I was able to figure out
I have a broken cranking gear tension gear spring.
Also I believe I have a broken tension pawl.
I took pictures, but haven't figured out how to post them on the forum.
Now I all I need to know is where to buy parts.
