That's exactly why I am so pleased with this machine, now that the secret of that odd handcrank was finally determined. Managing to locate the seller on eBay took some digging, but he responded to my email. He says he has modified handcranks for several other machines, trial and error until he got it right. I've no idea if he does this to sell locally, as it appears to be the only sewing machine he has sold on eBay. I wouldn't want to post his name here unless he is interested in manufacturing more of these, and it feels wrong to post a photo without his permission. I will email him again, asking about these issues.
