He lives within 30 miles of the largest RV manufacturing area in the country, bet he gets those cranks at Johnson's Surplus in White Pigeon.

I had to replace a couple window cranks in our TT and these are the same as whats on that machine

He does also list other machines, like the 99, which in one version comes as a handcrank.

Thanks for confirming my guess. I did wonder what type of finish was on the FW. I didn't think it came in a Godzilla finish.

Actually, it did. That's the rarest of them. I saw a beat to heck junk one sell for almost $1,000. But the one with the handcrank looks powder coated to me. I don't think I've ever seen a Singer brown Godzilla.

yep I heard about the godzilla finish fw - haven't seen one though. i've seen a blackside, tan, and the white ones 'in person' but not the godzilla one - wow that would be something to come across one of those!
