I would skip it unless you could test it for all of it’s functions including a good run at FMQ if you wan t to do that. There may be another reason it doesn’t have a hand wheel. Dropped? I bought a used nouvelle and had the opportunity to test it. Straight stitched fine. The little I tried the FMQ I thought it was fine. But on a real project it broke thread every few minutes. I tried every thread/needle
combination and finally took it in. It had a damaged hook. I traded it in in the newer version and never had a problem again.
