*wink* The Riccar is a tank! LOL It survived my relatives. Right now i have a bright pink parachute cord on the treadle part so i could work with it. Little bro loves that machine, he keeps taking over and playing with it. I suspect a budding interest in machine repair/sewing. I need to do some sanding and refinishing on the drawers and table top. But for now it's running and the cat loves to wrap herself around it.
Before i forget, this is the other thread i mentioned above :
