Thanks for including the picture of your foot pedal. There is one here on craigslist that states " all it needs is 2 new fuses" and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what they meant.
Lovely machine.

never actually seen a machine with a fuse. the two "fuse looking things" in my power cord are merely straight brass plugs, so that the foot pedal may be disconnected from the motor.

I may love miine when I oil it and sew on it, but things are busy around here right now. Mine is in really good condition, just very black, as the fittings are black, too.

Irishrose,
You are quite right, I would love your machine, I have 3 blacksides, two with standard striated covers and one that used to be but came to me stripped, so is wearing standard Chrome parts. I someday would very much like to have one with the black grapeleaf plates.

If your machine is not realy gunky a few drops of oil in the oil point holes should have her purring in no time. They are just so simple and have so few parts it really does not take much. You should really give her a chance before you send her off with some stranger.
Seriously I am just giving you a hard time, I understand needing to make room etc, just think you should at least try her so you can at least say you have.

I sewed on her in the seller's home. After a bit of threading correctly and adjusting the tension, she sewed very well. I haven't sewn with her here because I won't sew with a dirty machine and I haven't taken the time to clean her. She isn't dirty, just dusty and the inside seems clean. Have you dropped the back cover down inside one of your machines? That was odd. It just shifted and fell into the machine as I was removing it to look inside the machine. I couldn't get it out. My son came along and shook it out.

Dropped inside eh? I can honestly say I had never even considered the possibility. I did not even know it would fit.
I am glad you got it out.

Here's mine. I have the Godzilla finish/ Blackside. It's probably my least favorite machine I own. It was a gift, I didn't purchase it and wouldn't have. LOL. I like yours much better.

Awe, such a pretty machine!

She looks pretty good to be that old. Thank you for saving her.
