I hate to do it too, but if too many parts are missing or damaged you have to some times. I have one machine that kept 11 others alive. Small sacrifice. She still has some good parts. Some machines are no joy to use either. Then again I revived my Singer 401g and I never dreamed it would work let alone treadle. I learned a LOT just trying to get it going. No pain no gain.
