I have a hand crank so I may test that out on it. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be sitting there with the manual in one hand trying to figure out the bite thing since I turned it. I found another 319 on CL but they don't have contact info and don't answer emails. Maybe it is sold and they haven't taken it down.
Miriam, I am really curious how it goes with your 319 when you get a chance to play with your machine. I love the looks of the 319, and the fact that my 319 had a motorectomy and sits in a treadle, but I am a little frustrated right now with the machine. I need to sit and try different fabrics and play with the 'bight' control some more. I also need to order some more needles in a larger size than a 80/12 and see if that makes a difference. Candace may have a point, something is out of adjustment with the move and set up of the machine, although, I didn't drop her or anything?
