Oh my goodness. I learned to sew on this very model. I was 14 and a freshman in high school. It worked great then, my mom would have it cleaned about once every 3 to 5 years. That was 44 years ago. My mom can't sew anymore so she gave it to my daughter. She is in her 20's and is using it. I bet it will last another 50 years with love and care.
You got a GREAT buy.
