I think it'll work fine once I can get the feed-dogs moving. I threaded it up and tried stitching (on a bit of paper in the shop lol) and it made stitches, but did not pull the paper through.
As for finding another, anything vintage very rarely appears for sale in my area. I think this one is the first hand-crank I've seen. Perhaps I've been looking in the wrong place lol.
