I am looking forward to it also. Lots of work to do. Still trying to find a tub for all the baths I need to give these machines. You would think you could find an oil pan at garage sales. Maybe will just have to go buy one new (gasp :oops: ).
I have a surprise for you if I can get it. I think it will be a real steal. I am still trying to stay with the goal of not spending over $40. But that is reflected in the condition of the machines and cabinets that I am getting.
Lots of work to do! Where's that coffee? Its early.

As far as the machine is concerned if it is in good cosmetic condition I would go for it! And the fact that it has some attachments makes it that much better.

The presser foot might have too much tension on it if you want try and to release some of it by unscrewing the thumb screw on top of the machine that the bar goes through.
