Well, we got 2 machines instead of one. The Bentwood case is ok, but the machine is not a 66, but one of the 3/4 size elec. ones that needs the big knee bar. Having a senior moment, so don't remember which model it is. Plans are to convert that one as well to HC.
He had a 66 that was almost frozen and got that as well. Worked on it this afternoon and it should be ready to ship Monday to Afghan.

That would be a model 99 needing the knee bar. I have one just like that, and don't have the knee bar. I am going to put a hand crank on that one.
Thanks for the info. I think I shall convert this one as well. The wiring is shot. And that will give me a spare motor. DH says he can build me a knee bar, but he has lots of other stuff on his list. The 66 is ready except for putting the HC on and I really need another bobbin winder as the spring is soo weak on this one it allows the tire to rest on the wheel when it shouldn't. Thought I had a spare but it is for a 15.
