Requirements:
Should have 3:1 gearing
Should mount to a portable case (or be able to be used WITH a portable case.
Should be SOLID
Should be reasonably priced

Possibilities:
Might be able to be made to work with solid hand wheels
Adjustable/changeable gearing would be a plus
Possibly reuse some existing crank (orig or modern) with adapter
antique knife sharpener
