I would at least get an estimate. My sewing machine mechanic is really good about estimates. I would call and ask. Also some sewing machine mechanics run cleaning and tune-up specials and have coupons in the yellow pages. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I think she would love it if I used her machine! Old, old cabinet with it but I left in attic until I see what I can do with the machine.
Thanks all!

Thanks to all of you for your help. I have Annie back from the shop and she looked "ok" but purred like a kitten. My husband has to rewire the plug. The repair guys arthritis has kicked in big time and the two screws in there are too small for him to handle right now. My DH didn't think it was clean enough so he took some car paint cleaner to it and my oh my, shines like a new baby's behind!!!!
