I have been helping my husband build a fence, and have been trying to work on my two new foundlings from the front porch. The 626 has will need new gears, and I am going to try and brave up and do it myself. And the 128 is going to have some finish repair, but it freed up nicely. The case bottom will get rebuilt to let the machine sew. Billy didn't include it in the tutorial, but cleaning out a machine that is packed with roach droppings involved a water hose after I removed the motors. I just vaccuumed the motors first, then blew them out with the air compressor some more. Yucky job, but I figured it could not hurt them for sure.
