Tension seems ok, I sewed a few stitches manually but guess I won't really know until I get the power cord. I'm reading a lot of mixed reviews on this machine, is it worth it for me to go ahead and buy a power cord and see if it it works? Any information anyone would like to share on this machine? Thoughts or suggestions?
I had a 63? inthe late 60s or early 70s. I had a very patient Singer serviceman who taught how to handle the bobbin problems, then I liked it. Keep a supply of bobbins and be careful about tightening them too much, they do crack in the center spindle as the bobbin can be separated.
