Susie,
There is no evidence of the machine having been dropped or abused. It's clean, complete, and almost pristine internally. But the lady I got it from told me the lady she got it from ( actually her heirs ) had used it extensively for making ice skating costumes and other things. So although complete and in nice shape, it's well used.
I'm going to look for a Necchi motor as well as the Kenmore version. Who knows, I might get lucky.
Joe
