Thought that as I've just advertised this for sale I might as well leave a record of it.
Wonderful sewing machine, but someone had thought that screwing the spring clamps for the bobbin mechanism all the way in seemed like a pretty good idea. Result was a loud thump every revolution. Fixed now, all quiet again.

I just finished this Toyota made Brother. It was pretty dirty when I got it, but it cleaned up really nice. Here are a few before and after shots. I just love the color.

Missgigglewings, I used car wax on this one. I usually have good results with it. On the bare metal parts, I used a brass brush and followed it up with wadding polish, also with good results. You can see the full set of pictures of this here-

And thank you too missgigglewings.
