Ya, they polyed the machine, and that's why it has the brush strokes on the whole machine, on the needle plate and the cover to the place where you put the bobbin in. The whole machine EXCEPT the motor, I think is polyed, even the light. Now what happens when that cover on the light gets hot while you are sewing??? Anyone's guess! I did put in a call to see if they'd take less for it, and if they go down enough, I get everything but the machine and cabinet. I'd like that stool.
If the machine had been in good condition, it'd be mine. There are plenty more out there, and I can wait.
