Default Do I really need another hand crank?

Just saw this Redeye on CL for $25. It really needs to have the electric stuff removed and a hand crank added. It looks so pretty. Do I needed another one? No, but I do have three DGDs...

Over on the shooting forums I belong to we have a saying that we use when someone asks if he/she needs another gun: "What need got to do with it?"
If you want it and the money spent won't hurt the budget .... go for it.

None of those machine is a redeye. The first is a 66-4 I think, the second is a 127 or 128 I can't be sure and I don't know what the decals are called, the third is the Eldridge and the fourth is a Morse clone.
If you buy the second one I'd love to have the motor and electrical parts from it. Would be glad to split the cost and pay shipping.

The second one looks just like my Vinnie. Vencedora (sp?) decals, on a 127. No, 128. No, 127. Crud, I forget.

That motor is uber cool! I would buy that machine in a heartbeat. Great price. Nifty motor! Steve H just posted something about a motor just like that one.

I wasn't really really sure of what I was seeing. I already have the La Vencendora and made it into a hand crank, in fact I have the motor, light, and knee bar I removed from hanging out in a plastic grocery bag in my box of misc. parts I've collected from differnt machines - the light I removed from my 15 and misc Minnesota A parts. Well, maybe next time. I wish the pictures were closer. Still wouldn't mind another hand crank, but it needs to be pretty as well as functional.

My car is a little Honda Fit and it can hold lots of machines - even the cabinets - I think it will hold at least two assembled - more if you knock them down - but then you have to have room for the machines.
