I don't know which model - looks like something out of the 80s - it is pretty basic. I would have to do some digging at this point. It's been lurking around for months. It has a really cool table. I suppose if it ever does work it will be a fine machine.

Some of those are still pretty good machines. Like I said earlier in this thread, my favorite workhorse of the moment is a Pfaff from the 90s... "basic" in that it's all mechanical...

Everything else is ok - it just zags in slow motion.

eh,.. run the beans out of it (since everything else is OK) ... I bet it smartens up. ;)

I would if it had a cord

Technically, you could just wire directly to the motor if it's external.... for testing purposes. Then if it works, it's worth getting the cord...

I should dig it out some time - at least roll it on a different side.....

ArchaicArcane 08-29-2013 02:20 PM

Yeah,.. don't want it to develop a flat spot,... or bed head.

It already seems to have a bed head or something. I can't get excited about it...
