Can’t bring myself to damage the machine. There are new hand cranks available, but there has to be a threaded hole in the column to hold it to the machine. Not there, and not going to be one.
Glenn, I need a manual or something that shows me how to thread and work the machine. Fortunately it came with a set of feet, needles, and the cabinet. I wish I could post a picture, but I get a message that the .jpeg won’t load. Any idea why?
