Well, with my willing accomplice (DH), I picked up a Federal Sewing Machine this evening. Its a 15 clone of course. No time to play much - gotta get up at 5am. She looks ok - case is moldy and broken up. Maybe some TLC will get her fixed up. Someone used a lot of WD40 so that all has to come off before she freezes up. DH had to put her on the back porch because of the smell. I am very sensitive to chemicals. Someone took apart her bobbin shuttle so I am assuming there will be a few burrs. I am hoping it is warm enough to clean her up outside tomorrow. She is pretty ornate - a few scratches etc. She has set a LONG time in a shed or something. Her bobbin tire fell off when I touched it. I'll have to come up a name and some pics after I get her all dolled up.
