Nope, ain't going to do that Dan. Bought her once and learned a lesson. The machine did sew and ZZ. Perhaps she will show up like a bad penny on St Vincent's auction site. LOL

It is a Pfaff 78 - one stitch selector dial on the top. It has a zz or width lever and a stitch length dial on the front. That Pfaff is not fancy. Needle bar is a bit gooey so far - it may need to be flushed a bit with something other than T-F.

Caroline, this thread made me laugh!!! The fellow who purchases this machine deserves what he gets. So glad my Supernova is a sweetheart. If only it had a freearm.
