A HUGE production run to say the least for that one, most of the time it is like 50,000 a pop. There were over 5,016,235 of the machines built during the course of the 28K.

But like everyone says it is a very nice machine, and the decals are in very good condition!!!! But I think it might be missing the handcrank assembly itself. If you have just a knob on the handwheel then the ratio is 1:1 with the handcrank attachment it was more like 6:1.

Lost sweetie, you are talking to ladies here, ratio 1.1 and 6.1, you lost me....
:lol:
Opps :oops: :oops: :oops:

Okay the ratios are like this, when the handwheel turns on revolution the machine makes one stitch= 1:1 Ratio.

With a handcrank the crank turns one revolution and the machine makes 6 stitches= 1:6 ratio.
