That means I will soon be selling Libby, my 1956 FW. I've had her for a long time and she has been a good sewing buddy. Libby was my first FW.
They say good things come to those who wait. Well, I waited and finally received my birth year FW (1952) in today's mail. She (I think I will name her CeeCee) is in absolutely awesome condition. She is in such good condition, I am trying to see if she has been repainted. The bed does have some scratches but they are minimal. The manual's pages are yellowed so it looks vintage and the case as well as the machine have a somewhat musty odor. I do see that the plug that goes into the machine is rubber, so that means the foot controller has been rewired, but that is ok. All in all, CeeCee is stunning. And if she is in original condition, she was never used much. I am so excited to have her. She sure is in better condition than I am :D :D
Sew when we see pics of the new lady?
