Billy, I posted this in the shop thread but perhaps it belongs here.

It is a Singer Industrial Electric Sewing Machine 206K43. The owner just replied with this: "The machine needs work. The motor runs, but the clutch needs repair. This is not a machine to be used for quilting. It is for upholstry, canvas and drapery extra heavy duty. It is about 50 to 60 years old."

Is he correct or could I use it for longarming? And, how hard would it be to repair the clutch? What should I offer if it is something I can use as a long arm? He is asking $50. Thanks.
