I have brought her home and she is lovely! She is quite dirty (nicotine I think) and well worn, but she purrs and sew like a dream and is well oiled. She was born in 1940 and has had a rewire at some stage in her life. Luckily she has a manual and the key to her bentwood case.
This is my first proper foray into vintage sewing machines. I had a hand crank Singer as a child and through my early teens and I loved her. I am so happy to have this new sewing machine.
Jon, this price really seems a bargain to me. What can you buy for £20 these days? It sure was cheaper than my Bernina 550QE!!
