There are hundreds of thousands of machines made in the fifties (especially at Kilbowie) with spoked handwheels. My 15k from 1952 has one.<br /><br />Perhaps a greater number of people in the U.S. were using electric machines and the spoked wheels were kept for longer in the Kilbowie machines for hand-cranks and treadles?Roger v.d.

The hand wheel spoke is bent, I think. It turns very hard compared with the way it used to. Is there any way to straighten the spoke?Lynda Gatlornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726502802933887607.post-46570249417864382742011-07-26T07:35:56.069-04:002011-07-26T07:35:56.069-04:00Hi,

The former still has the chrome, the latter is worn black, is why.Susanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05952542360789788976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726502802933887607.post-77086141163922704782011-07-24T16:24:09.830-04:002011-07-24T16:24:09.830-04:00I've converted several vintage Singers to hand...I've converted several vintage Singers to hand cranks and agree about the overall crappiness of the repro spoked wheels. The repro hand cranks are just as bad if not worse--but they do work.<br /><br />How many vintage sewing machine nuts would it take (all providing feedback or other pokes) for someone to contract with a manufacturer who would do a better job?Cheryl Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14951321244525006440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726502802933887607.post-18660832694458015402011-07-24T14:10:24.754-04:002011-07-24T14:10:24.754-04:00Just FYI, the only spoked wheel I have is on my 19...Just FYI, the only spoked wheel I have is on my 1926 66 Treadle, and the Simanco is stamped on the outside of the wheel - a little hard to decipher under the paint layers. There is no stamp on the inside of it.<br /><br />And I LOVE those spoked wheels! Still looking for a hand crank machine :)Jillybejoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11010866113928621691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726502802933887607.post-50139267996103307442011-07-24T06:26:26.864-04:002011-07-24T06:26:26.864-04:00Fascinating stuff!

I'll keep my eyes pealed for the real deal, if I ever come across them. Thanks.Cheryl's Teapots2Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005480747596617459noreply@blogger.com
