Once upon a time, about 30 years ago, (not sure just when) I had a T&S like the garage door stop. It now resides with one of my daughters or one of their daughters. Last I heard, it was sewing just fine. I sewed a tent with screen windows and roll downs to close the windows when it was raining on it...way back when. I don't think it has ever been cleaned professionally, adjusted or oiled. It is/was an amazing machine. I doubt it gets used now for anything other than a quick repair, if that even. I now have about 20 Vintage/Antique machines, 2 newer (about 30 years old also) Berninas and a Pfaff embroidery machine that is about 10 years old. Love them all (most of the time). Got a bit "unhappy" with the Pfaff when I was trying to do my Ashlea block and it messed up no matter what I did.
