I've had over a dozen new hand crank attachments and saw 2 I didn't like. Nice machine. I just cleaned up a rusted up Singer 99. Mine did not turn because the bobbin area was so rusted. I spent the better part of a day making that one work. The wires were toast so I put a hand crank on it. It sews beautifully and is very quiet now. Two things. If you put a hand crank on it the case may not close - hand crank may have to be removed for storage. And if that is a replacement hand wheel, the bobbin winder may not connect to the wheel as you wind a bobbin. I remove the screw at the top and it allows the winder to connect. Both problems are solvable.
