OurWorkBench suggested trying the handcrank on one of the 15 clones I recently acquired here

Barn Find

I removed the solid handwheel and motor from the Morse in the Barn Find picture and the aftermarket spoked handwheel and crank fit right on and the bobbin winder makes contact, so I think it will work. Even if I don't have a buyer I may turn one of these 15s into a handcrank anyway, once I get them cleaned up.

They aren't that common in the US. Potted motors are common.
