Sews, the crank hole and the mounting post were identical in size. All they would do is kiss. So I took the machine and crank to a machinist place and they fixed me right up.
I bought the crank apparatus off ebay. They are made in china now. If I had the patience to watch I expect I could have found a vintage one, but probably at a price I wouldn't be willing to pay.
thank you Cari for that link. I have no desire to be a collector of anything. Having had cancer twice in the last few years just enforces that peculiarity of mine
But if those are small enough they look like they'd really do the job.
Since I fixed this up to take fishing I want to be mindful of keeping everything on the simple side.
