So, what do you suggest I do with a Singer Stylist 457 with gears that have crumbled? Built in 1969. I have the manual and buttonholer. I don't really NEED to have this machine. I don't love it...can I just donate it to a sewing machine repair guy for parts or something? I know I can get the gears and replace them...I just don't want to. What should I do?
