Funny is right Mrs Sew n Sew! Do you have the cams for the 651? I am on the look out for the cams and a new bobbin case for it.
So far the machine is quite quiet and I haven't noticed the growling noise people have mentioned.
Cathy thanks for the warning about the red Elna...does that include oil? Just checking.
Hopefully once he finishes up the taxes there will be time for him to service this machine and also my Singer 301 which is patiently waiting for an oil job.
I am hoping to find a screwdriver and maybe replace the accessory box as it is cracked in half in the middle but it's still usable now. I counted and it has 6 regular and 6 double cams and I read that any Elna cams will work in it! Can't wait to do a test run of the machine soon with fabric as I have just checked it out so far "dry"
