I won a Free Westinghouse straight stitch sewing machine in 1958 (I was in the 8th grade) and the motor burned out while my daughter (now age 43) was sewing on a 4-H project MANY years ago. Just can't throw it out, in hopes 'some day' I would find a motor to replace on it, not sure if that's possible but just can't part with it (even after all the harping my hsb gives me about throwing it out) OUCH!! Maybe I will contact Lostn51/Billy...
