Not sure about the whole hand crank, never done it, what do you all think of hand crank sewing?[/QUOTE]
I have three hand cranks and I love them. I had one 7 yr and one 8 yr sew on them and they reaction was what fun.
It worked out very for them as it makes them pay attention to what they are doing. Kathie

They will still sew without the lid or face plate. I went to bed - who won?

I picked up a dreadful looking Singer 500 this afternoon. Head shaking. The lady said this one was her mother's. Ya sure. She just got out of church, too. That machine had a straight sew foot, no other attachments, no disks, no manual, light hanging half off, hinge pin gone, top door falling off, the stitch selector is always messed up, the throat plate lever rusted out, bad cords, runs slow, paint blistering, no case, no cabinet and so on............ She is going to need some TLC to say the least.
