I’ve not ever converted a potted motor machine (201-2 or 15-91) to handcrank, and I wondered if the collars on them would require the deeper hub for the Stop Motion Washer to fit correctly. Apparently not.

I’m getting overrun with 15-91s (they’re very common here - I have 10 and have turned down others), nearly all of them need re-wired, and I might want to begin converting some to hand or treadle use.
