Glenn - We have twins! War babies at that, mine is from 1940. It is at post 181 here
http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...t130994-5.html I was always confused as to whether it was a 128K or 28K - it has the high bobbin winder like a 128K, but has the thumb tab on the tension discs like a 28K. When I looked up the serial number I found it listed as a 28K.
Jon - thanks for the tip about JB Weld. It's a bit pricey. I might have to smash a few things to create more repairs to justify the expense. It is only a tiny area to rejoin. My husband muttered something about having some metal glue in the shed (possibly) but it's blowing a gale today, so perhaps he'll have a rummage tomorrow if the shed is still there.
Sharon - Get well soon!
