Every once in a while you have to part one out. I have a red eye that is rather ugly. It was pretty rusted out and at the time I got it I figured parts so I removed the motor. It does not have a case. Then one day as I was thinking about what to do about my little visually impaired grand daughter I thought a hand crank on that machine. BUT there is no motor boss. Then I discovered steering wheel spinners. This machine doesn't matter how ugly it is. The kids adore it. I let them clean it, oil it and sew on paper 3X5 cards. Like I said they adore it. Here is a picture of 3 year old Wilbur 'working' on that machine. OH and guess what I don't care if he does 'work' on that machine. He can't hurt it. I can always fix that one. It does the job for the kids.
