I guess the Amish guy didn't think they needed electricity to work.
After reading this I remembered I had a Fashion Mate in my hoard too. I dragged it off the shelf and ran a sponge over the worst of it to see what we're dealing with. Ohhh so hard to decide sometimes. The wheel turns, the cords are shot, the lamp has a broken casing, and both the motor and machine have areas of soft bubbled up paint that I believe is due to cat pee. I could probably make it live.
