I like the machine because you can drop the feed dogs, it is nice and clean and there is no rust.
Picture? What year was it? It may be too "plastic" to be worth fixing.
Geez - MW's been out of business so long I doubt if it had much plastic - naw on the other hand maybe that's why they went under...
