Anyone have any info on her?? I knew she was in rough shape, and the bobbin winder is missing. There is a shuttle and a bobbin though.
There is a 2 part epoxy type compound for metal that might work to repair the base. I can find out the name of it from my son. He is an auto mechanic and says you can get it at an auto parts store. Let me know if you want the name of it.
