I was given a 128 just a few weeks ago. This one was made in 1924. It wouldn't make a stitch either. I took it to the Mennonite sewing center, and they "fixed" it. It needed all new wiring, the belt was useless and he said the little wire that comes off the tension disks was missing. It was stuck at first, but he put on a stronger motor and got it going. Seven bobbins came with it, but some of the thread on them was rusted to the shaft.
It has a knee lever to make it run and a bentwood case.
It works now.
