    Dare I tell this nitwit the belts he has on display are for a VACUUM CLEANER, not a sewing machine??? Or maybe this is a machine from the Jetsons and does both?
    You made me laugh Christine. I wonder if that is why the machine is being sold? Can't get the belts to work

    So is the extra $225 for the ghost? 'Cause the machine itself is worth about $25, tops.

    Sounds like an electrical problem to me. Perhaps simply unplugging the sewing machine or replacing the foot controller would get rid of the spooks.
