Case for HC machine
[ATTACH=CONFIG]489205[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]489206[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]489208[/ATTACH]Rodney, here is one I made for a 66. Used 1X3 oak from Big box home store. Outside measurements are 20'X8 3/4"X2 7/8" but you can keep it 3" so you don't have to rip down the stock. You will need 3 3/4" from the end of the End divider to have room for the HC. I just happen to find a full size bent wood singer top with hardware for a 5.00 and use this as the measurement to make sure I had room for the HC

My thoughts exactly .... you turned ugly into beautiful! May you have good health from here on out so you can stitch away on that gorgeous machine.

Sounds like you've had a rough year. I hope you're doing better now.
That wiring is definitely crispy. Looks like there may have actually been flames when it went.
How do you like it as a hand crank? I'm hoping to convert 3 of my machines to handcrank before this time next year.
Right now I have a 99, a 66 and a 27 I can use though 2 need either spoked wheels or notches cut in the existing ones. I mentioned it in another thread but right now the plan is to bring some machines to next year's fair for kids to sew on.
Also, does the handcrank fit under the lid? I'm in the process of making some cases and I need to know how much clearance I need on that end. Can you please measure how far out the hand crank sticks past the edge of the wheel when it's folded like in the last picture? It would be nice to not have to remove the crank to put the lid on.
Thanks,
Rodney

Glenn, beautiful job on your case.
Thank you both for the measurements. I'll doublecheck in the morning on the one I already started but I think my guess came pretty close. If not, it's not too late to re-do, or just put a non-handcrank machine in it. I have plenty of machines that need cases.
