Thanks, Muv! I just unpacked my 128. I am about to go back to your videos on You Tube, which were very helpful. There will be no guilt in stripping this little gem as the wiring is very bad. I plugged it in and it purrs along, but I hear some electrical "sissing" so won't do too much with it. I want to hand crank it NOW, so will proceed to order a repro one until something better comes along. I am anxious to wind the bobbin and take her for a spin!
