I cleaned it; oiled it; and it runs like a champ. Case is in need of some repair, but there are lots of attachments with it and the original manual. Monday was my birthday so this is my present to myself. :lol: :lol:
What a beautiful B-day gift. Wishing you many many more Happy B-days and many years of sewing on your new toy. Aren't these FW's just the neatest things to work with!! I have two and love them both. I made an entire bed quilt, including the quilting on my 1937 FW in May for a graduation gift. Just bought my 1936 a couple of weeks ago at a moving sale for $100 - with orig. book and loads of attachments.
