The motor was shot on the MW I bought for $12 to keep it from being spray painted purple. But I love the way it looks and who knows? A motor may show up. Love the little clovers but mine was made by HAPPY.

You are right it was made by Happy - I named the machine Happy go Lucky but called it Lucky... You can put a hand crank on it until you find a motor.

HC Hand Crank. You just bolt it on where the motor came off - you need a hand wheel that will accept the HC though. Not every machine can do that. But that Happy and that 99 will. Sew-classic has info and parts on her website.

I'd probably keep the clone, if only because they can readily drop feed dogs, quick adjust on the pressure foot, has a reverse and stitch length (unlike the 99) and because they're less common. But actually I'd probably not get around to getting rid of any of them, as evidenced by the state of my garage and back bedroom
