Hi All, I'm new to this board. I have the opportunity to buy a Bell Sewing machine which seems to be a badged Phoenix 429 as it is identical to Cecilia's. Bell made sewing machines in the US, most notably a collectible portable, but it appears that they decided to have Baer & Rempel badge this machine for them. I have picture of the machine, should I post it? The seller says it doesn't run. The cords look taped so maybe it's just that, but there could be other stuff wrong with it too. I'm wondering how hard it will be to get parts for. What kind of needle and bobbin does it take? Thanks in advance. -- Sheila
