Thanks all!! Got her working and laying down a stitch. She has some tension issues, but I plan on taking the tension apart anyway for a thorough cleaning - along with everything else. I wanted to make sure it COULD lay down a stitch before I spent hours on cleaning etc.
anyway ... here she is. I'm quite pleased that all her decals are intact, no scratches or anything on her japan - cosmetically she's in ACE condition. Despite the owners dedication to keeping the outside of the machine in pristine condition, I don't think they ever touched the inside. She needs a good strip down of her working bits. The cabinet needs to be stripped and re-varnished as well.
