I am afraid of the Grinch and that is why I have only gotten machines locally. I get into enough trouble with that. I am sure my husband is glad that I don't get them online also. I might be tempted for a handcrank though. Haven't found any of them locally.
Sorta. I have actually sold more than I have bought this last month. Last night my Grover & Baker #9 Lockstitch was loaded up and driven to her new home.
It is funny you should say that, I was mentioning last night that getting sewing machines in the mail is kind like Christmas but you do not know if Santa or the Grinch packed your present....

I have two that have this issue. It is usually wear... We have various thicknesses of bronze and Delrin shim stock that I eventually will use to resolve the issue on mine. Basically you measure the shaft front back and center and the hole in the crank front back and center, do the math for the differences, average, select the shim stock of the same thousandths as needed, trim to fit and wrap around the shaft when installing handwheel. Viola!
