It sure looks lovely but how does it sew? Is the wiring all new?

First thing is to know if it is in running condition. Probably has had a paint job. Good Luck.

If that pink cutie is in good working condition and I could afford it, I would buy it!

If the mechanics are okay, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Imagine redecorating your sewing room using that color as a focus. What fun!

If it works and depending on the price, I would run with it.

the prices for the paint job that I've found run 4-500.00 dollars. I suppose if you had a pet auto body person it would be less, but if that FW was down in my bottom feeder range I'd get it.

That said my FW is my least favorite machine. I'd have a change of heart in a hot color
