Yesterday, I just just about finished a Dressmaker, very much like that. Mine was bought at an auction for $1 for the table. I didn't know a machine was in there until we tried to move it. The machine would not turn. This machine was filthy and frozen up. The knobs were frozen up. Nothing moved. NOTHING. NOTHING. NOTHING. I thought it might be fun so I cleaned it and oiled it. I had real problems with the knobs. I took it with me to Ray's class. We got it going but it took a LOT of work. I was able to fix all but the wiring - so far anyway... It will also go on a treadle. OH and all that work was worth it. I've been wanting one that would HC or treadle.
