I love hand cranking the Singer 15-90 or what ever number it is. Some of the Singer 15's - at least the real old ones have a real heavy spoked wheel, too - those machines will sew through about anything you put in there.
Very nice machines - I use an ugly well loved old Singer 15-75 - I really like that machine - I've kept it electric. No it doesn't have the potted motor.
Miriam, that is definitely under consideration. I got a different 15 with a motor, but, the hand wheel looks like it was chipped off to the base and when we got it off, the end of the shaft looks broken, compared with my nice 15- that has the spoked wheel. I'm hoping to make one electric machine out of it, put it in the cabinet the 66 is in, and be able to do FMQ. Of course now that I am puttering with the machines, I haven't done any real sewing but mending.
