Woot Woot is right!! My first vintage machine was a red eye.
I have to warn you, though, once you get your first vintage/antique sewing machine you won't be able to stop at just one. I don't want to 'enable' you in any way :wink: but you should see all of the gorgeous vintage machines out there with all sorts of decal patterns on them!
You could try putting a hand crank on this particular machine, until you get new cords for it, your granddaughter will love to sew with it and she can go at her own speed.
