I've only seen the large hand wheels go on a few of the 15-30s or the 27s but I could be wrong.

Miriam, would the "large" hand wheel that you mentioned, describe the 6 spoked model 27 handwheel that I referred to in my previous post and thereby disqualify it from use on the 201-3 and if so...would you know which handwheel would fit on the 201?
On another note...the serial number has an EE prefix...and I wondered if that prefix could identify the machines origins or is it solely used in dating the machine? |
The EE series was made in the Kilbowie plant in Clydebank, Scotland.
Try treadling with the original handwheel. I have put several machines in my MUTT treadle with their original small handwheel. They all worked just fine. You have a less area to grab on the handwheel if you are the type to start the sewing by pulling on the handwheel, but it works.

The wheel off the 27 has a deeper shaft.

Thanks Miriam and Mizkaki
