My DD that just became a Lawyer and is about to embark on her adventure as a member of the US Army JAG corps is staying with her sisters and I for a while before she leaves.

She has a Singer 99 that is "nice and all" but she got to try a hand crank of mine and fell in love with the control, simplicity, and quiet of it. She kinda wants my New National but when i showed here the Windsor B she was hooked.. The issue is that it was an electric.

I have removed the shoe/foot shaped pedal and original three way wiring but I do not have a hand crank that will line up with it.

Here is a couple pics that should help. (oh and the original pedal and wiring is available to whoever can help me find a handcrank)

I "believe" this is what it should look like.

No help from me but I like the base of the machine, very neat. Hope someone can help you find a hc.

I see why your daughter likes it. I wish I could help with the crank, I love the foot shaped controllers. If all else fails can you make a bracket for one of the reproduction cranks to fit?

I have a hand crank I picked up that so far does not fit anything I have - but it does have the side to side holes like you show - instead of the top/bottom like most of them have. It's got an interesting offset too, but I can't tell by the pictures if yours has that.

It is not exactly like that one, but it may fit. Can you send me some detailed measurements so I can compare it?

My plan was to mount it so I could use it as a sort of "universal" handcrank that would mount to the special bases I'm making, and not on the machine. Because of that, one hand crank will be as good as another for my needs.

I had my husband send me pictures. the good Lord must like me to get things for you . . . the one I have is EXACTLY like the one in the picture.

So - what do you have to trade this time LOL!!!

BTW - my husband is currently packing up the Low Arm - so I might be able to sneak this in with it - IF we can come to an agreement (I love yanking chains).

When I looked at my history - the link was gone, but when I looked up Sold Auctions - I found it.

This is the one I have.

well now... I also just won this which may change her mind, but either way I want to get this windsor up and sewing as a handcrank as well.

Timing is amazing.... PMing you.

i'm searchin and a lookin for the same hand crank and not finding one. I have the clone to your Windsor. The one that got the motor broken in shpmnt. CD helped me with another motor. My New National is a clone to your Ideal HC. I'm rebuilding the walnut base that got destroyed in shipment. But she turns so smooth with that big wheel!
