Default My handcrank is cranking!

There was a package waiting by my door last night when I came home from work. It was the handcrank for my 1933 99k13. I was so excited that I stayed up past midnight cleaning and playing with the machine. This is the cleanest used machine I ever bought. There was no gunk anywhere and just some fuzz in the bobbin and feed dog areas. A real good oiling and a wipe down of the surface with oil, and it is just lovely!

The tension is fine, the stitch length regulator works great, the bobbin winder is just cool, its that old style. Best of all, the machine fits in the bentwood case with the crank on! I am one happy vsm girl

Fabulous, isn't it fun? I enjoy cranking whether or not their is thread on mine. Please tell us about the extension on the front. I am most curious. Does it come off before the case lid goes back on?

The bed extention has a clip that drops into the slot for the cover lock. There are 2 styles of Singer locks, flat & ones that have a dip. You have to get an extention that fits the styles of case you have. It just lifts off and fits inside. I bought the extension, my machine did not come with one, but I love the way it looks. There are a set of clips you can mount inside the dome of the bentwood top to clip the extension in. I am hesitant to screw/drill into my cover. It is in really fine shape & I would be really upset if I cracked it.
