The reverse and stitch length arm were pretty stuck. All the innards are metal including the cams. However, there are two nylon gears. One has a small crack but it still sews great and all the stitches are nice. My Morse has a similar crack and also sews great. So, I'm not going to worry about it. What I think is pretty cool are the built in stitches. I've never seen a machine this age with built in duck, butterfly and fish stitches. Neato! I like the lemon color and I'm glad I was able to get it running.
Candace, I like the yellow and green! I don't see any evidence of a permanent marker either! You got the cams too? I'd guess 70's. It looks like a fun machine! I see it has needle positioning! So does my Pfaff! Left, middle, right needle positioning, and they both drop their feed dogs!
