Belt a little loose other than that can't see any problems. Maybe a little cleaning needed and a drink of oil. She was loaded with jewelery. Man said he had needles and other stuff but didn't know they went with the machine. Here is a few pictures of Betty Boops (what DH named her)
Wow Trish, do you use the first Davis you have? This one looks just like mine, but your decals are in better shape! It took me two months to get my 'Betty' to sew, but I love that machine. Right now she is sitting on a shelf while DH redoes her cabinet! Those machines are the best for putting on bindings! Before Betty got stuck on a shelf I used her exclusively for my bindings!
