Once brought home, we discovered the tension spring was broken. Nothing major, found another on ebay. Now all we need is a table & belt then I will be able to give it a true test drive - after she's cleaned of course.
Okay, here's the thing. I recently purchased a manual and just received a notice from the seller that the cover had fallen off @ the staples as well as the two center pages. In leu of credit, she is willing to give me other items I may need for the machine, she mentioned pressure feet & needles, if I knew the sizes. The reason for getting the manual is because I am not having much luck finding is info on the net.
The machine has one needle with a burr on the tip, one bobbin, and one pressure foot. Any input? Desperately seeking advice as I am just beginning to collect these wonderful machines.
Thanks in advance to all
Keep in mind that unless the pressure bar has been replaced, this machine will take back clamping attachments....those are what I'd go for...
by that I take it to mean that the attachments are screwed on with the screw being on the back side of the pressure bar and not off to the left side :?:
if so, just learned something new, again, today :P
this board is so much better than school.
Got a question, get an answer and then some, and more.
Gotta love it
Wonderful people here
