Today DH and I visited an antique shop and I spotted an old Husquvarna sewing machine...the guy said it works. I bought it cuz I could...for $60. I brought it home and took it out of it's original case and guess what. It doesn't work! I didn't try it at the shop, just took his word for it. I took it apart...there is a gear that slips out so it won't move the needle arm up or down. When holding the gear in place it moves. The motor works well...nice and quiet. I'm bummed! Now to find a repair man. Where oh where do I even begin to look??
Do you think I should even try calling the shop back and visit with them? I think it's my fault for not trying it.
