How beautiful Steve! Your Phoenix is far more deserving of the name

.... and what a find! Amazing stuff. It couldn't be in better hands
Translating the German is very interesting. I was having a go at the manual for the Phoenix Kl. 250 that I'm unfortunately just selling, don't have room for it. But the words are hard to translate for sure! When I'm done, I want to make the manual available in English as well as German. Both the 250 and the 283F are 1950's, but one takes the round shank and the other takes a flat shank needle. I guess it took them a while to swap to flat shank.
