1900 handcrank

I picked up a hand crank from a 1900 unit. It came from England and had the balance wheel included. I paid $105 w/shipping included and was glad to add it to the collection.

I also purchased the Chinese knockoff for a machine I sold for use in the field during re-enactments. The quality difference is amazing, yet the knockoff worked for the intendented application. I think the OEM unit makes 4 stitches per revolution. That way, for the purist, one will know how many stitches a given project takes

Now I'll wait until DH reads this and see what he says LOL!!

Cathy - if you make it to Atlanta let me know! We are moving here (here now doing things on house). Plan to be here permanently in a few months. We will have a guest room. And my machines are already here at the son's house. I know you don't know me well but I think I am as normal as any vintage sewing machine collector!!

Haid and neu help

I have acquired a haid and neu crank made in 1943. I am not sure the placement of the spring on the top tension knob is correct. I wondered if you are able to guide me?
