Default Beautiful Pink & Black Brother

I found this machine on CL which was tucked away in a thrift/trading post type establishment. The electrical cords were bare in places so we couldn't test it to see if it worked. They wanted $35 but the lady said it had been in the store for over 3 months and if I wanted it she would sell it to me for $20. I decided the accessories were worth that even if the machine didn't run. In the accessories there was a bottle of Needle Lube. I have never heard of this so I don't know what a person would do with it. All of the knobs and the needle bar turned freely so I figured I couldn't go wrong with my $20. The machine has a wiring mechanism that I have never seen. I believe this machine is hard wired as opposed to a plug in to the machine electrical unit. The foot pedal is attached to the cabinet with a knee lever that is not removable. This is just an arrangement that I have never seen. There is a dual plug that is attached to the cabinet also for the light cord and the motor cord. Just a weird setup. Anyway, I thought the machine was very pretty and it cleaned up so nicely. I am sure with the help of my OSMG, I can get it running. Here are a few pictures. She is so, so pretty.
