Older Viking Sewing Machine Any Tips For me?
I was at a yard sale and saw a older Viking machine. It said make offer but I turned away after the lady said she didn't know if it worked. So she grabbed my arm and said "if you can get it in your car, it is heavy, it's yours for free". Well I got it in the car and brought it home thinking it did not work but oddly it did work and it is in a shop getting tuned and cleaned and oiled.
I have the original manual and also the bill of sale that said it was sold in 1971. It is model 60-20 and the machine fixer man told me the reason it is so heavy is because it is made of cast iron and he also told me I got a good old machine.
So anyone else sewing on one of them? Looks like I am going to join the older sewing machine club.
