I bought a really nice one a few yrs ago and have never used it. It comes from Scotland and still has the orginal electric plugs on it. At the time I wanted to have one and then after I got it, it didnt seem so important. Eventually I'll get around to selling it for what I paid for it. I'm not one who needs to profit from everything. My only old machine that I bought and never have used but won't part with is my tredle. That's because my little grandson fell in love with it. He's now 8 but was about 5 when I got it and takes pride in knowing something that can run without electricity. I promised him that it along with my antique bed set (that he also loves) is his when anything happens to me. There are some really nice FW out there though.
