I expressed a bit of concern about the possibility of a fire, and he told me not to worry...that I wouldn't see flames, the motor would just quit. He was right...it didn't need a motor. I love that he could SO easily scam folks...and he doesn't.
So, my new-to-me Necchi BU and its smokes-on-startup probably won't burst into flames?!? Other than that little bit of smoke, this machine works like a dream! I vacuumed all the motor vents and added 1 drop of oil in each of the oil holes. Smokes less now but still is making me nervous.
