This machine would make a great teaching aid.. so many ask about what goes on inside a sewing machine, whats a hook ,, or what is timing .. so this would be the prefect show n tell machine.
John,
We traded for a Singer 3810 a month or so ago. It has a two piece plastic shell with an aluminum skeleton inside. Really a cheap piece of junque. Considering just how much plastic is used in the mechanical parts I'm amazed at the fact it sews really nice. I had it apart to repair the bobbin winding clutch assembly. It was bent, no idea how.
What I thought was a transparent plastic shell would be great for the educational purpose. With a transparent shell you could safely use the machine, but still the working parts.
