Looking for hand crank Part No. 81712
Hi Everyone,
I'm on the lookout for a hand-crank attachment for my VS2 machine. I need the U-shaped one because this lovely machine has no boss to attach a normal hand crank. If anybody has some tips for me on where to find one please let me know? Or if they have one that's looking for a home... I live in New Zealand and I know shipping is expensive but I doubt I'm going to find one easily at all, let alone locally! Thanks so much... Megan

Somewhere in my notes, I have seen possibly another way to mount a hand crank to a machine that doesn't have a "motor boss." It is a bracket that attaches to the back inspection plate. I have it listed as SIMANCO #195978. I did a search for one, but was having a hard time finding a current source for one. Perhaps you may have better luck. It is another possibility as both seem rather rare.

There's a Facebook group, Hand Crank Sewing Machines for Sale. The owner of the site, Dwaine, has come across these on occasion. The mount system is very uncommon. Dwaine is in Wisconsin. I suggest you request to join, then pm him.

Hi WiChix - thank you for the suggestion. I'm not a member of FB and don't want to be. Maybe I'll consider it if I get so I really, really, really want one. Hmmm... I wonder how long I can hold out? :-) Ta... Megan
