Love them. I've refurbished all of them and have had to retime them, redo the tensions etc. and it's so simple on this machine. They are wonderful machines because you don't need to be a scientist to fix them.

They FMQ just as well as my modern machines, if not better. And yes, they are stronger machines and I've been told FMQ isn't such a good idea on FW as the motors don't handle the constant running well.
How do I learn to refurbish this machine. I recieved mine today it seems to be in poor shape. There is thread wrapped under the bobbin case and the bobbin was rusted into the case for starters so I did not try to thread and sew. it does run well . Very dirty but that is an easy fix, I guess I need to start from scratch and get this machine in good shape.
