Singer 99K restoration: stuck crank handle?
Hi everyone,
I'm new here! Looking for some insights from all of you experienced folks!
I just acquired a singer 99k (around 1930s I believe) and the wooden handle part of the hand crank seems fixed to the shaft. It does not rotate. Is this normal, or should I be looking to feed some light machine oil on either side to see if that will ease the seizure?
Thanks

Welcome to Quilting Board. I only have a few hand cranks. I'm pretty sure the pin in the handle is press fit and not screwed on. I have one that there was a replacement handle was put on and as cranking it loosens the screw, so have to stop and tighten. I'm not sure about oiling wood. Hopefully, someone will be along shortly to help with this.
