    Thank you for this info as I want to turn my electric Red Eye into a hand crank. Kathie

    Janice this link did not work. I tried to put in the link by hand and nothing came up.

    Glenn, I cringed/cried when I saw it was his greatgarndmother's machine. It is a beautiful one to boot. I'd be keeping her and maybe even learn to sew on the machine. ~ Chris
