Said I to my DH, please go bring the car (Focus) up closer, I don't want it to get wet. I am calling her Frannie the Fantastic. Went to our Amish fabric store down the road and picked up a couple new belts. Can't stop smiling! Well worth the $60.00 I paid for her. She's a shuttle bobbin and came with extras plus the manual. Don't know how old she is, but she is not afraid to work!

Great find. I'm curious about the front panel on the cabinet. Does it fold up, come off, what?
