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.

I would keep them all if I had space for them. It depends on you and how you feel about them. They are beautiful....

I would keep them. I am one of those people who can not part with a sewing machine.

Great suggestions everyone thank you! I also love the clovers Miriam. What is an HC? I like the idea of finding a 99 with reverse too.

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

I would keep only the Pfaff. The other are very common and will be easy to replace if you change your mind.

Thank you. I purchased them before I knew anything about sewing machines.
