I bought an old machine in its cabinet and did so mostly because I liked the way it looked (cute and old). The cabinet is a nice end table, and when I open it up, the machine brings back the "olden days". I wish I knew how to thread it and maintain it. Do you (or any other readers) know anything about this one? It is an Eldridge E with a Hamilton Beach motor. It came with several attachments and still works, but I am afraid to try it. Don't even know how to thread it!
