Thanks to an execellant suggestion from a QB member I had a friend, her sister, help with the electrial bits on the 99k. Motor dose work, purr's along nicely. Didn't replace the cords but will, I just wanted to know if the motor worked. I sanded the bits of mildew out of the lower case, a spot about 2" altogether. Now for an oil bath and to decide what to do with the lower part of the case on the outside. Its water damaged and pealing away. Wood is still in great shape. And I discovered the case was 'made in Canada', stamped into the bottom. The machine is from Clydebank Scotland.
