Wes if the notches are at 3,9 and 12 you can just use a regular wide or narrow glass body....the only time you need a balcrank is when notches are at 4,8 and 12.....mm
Wanted early tin litho signage. petro, farm, auto, etc.

Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

I have bought two in the last couple of years: one off ebay for around 300 + shipping (probably the one Jarvis speaks of) and another from an individual for 350. Also remember another on ebay for almost 500 that I bid on but didn't buy.
They are difficult to obtain, I spent 5 years looking for the ones that I bought.
Collect small Oklahoma Oil Co.'s 1920's-1940's. Barnsdall, Cushing, Eason, Marland, etc.
