MadCow333,
Thanks for the information. We traded into a T&S 778 a month or so ago. Some cleaning and a replacement light assembly and it's up and running. Having a bit of trouble winding the bobbins though. Seems the thread wants to get under the bobbin and make a wad.
The machine is noisy. Mostly sounds like the new plastic wonder motors. Not sure why, it's not binding, but it might just be from lack of use.
I'll save your information, it does help with a number of questions we had.
Joe
