Sewnoma, yours is definitely a little bit more 'modern' looking but in beautiful condition!
I plugged mine in and the light works, but I don't know how to make it go! It site there looking lovely but nothing happens.
I can't find an 'on-off' switch and the manual doesn't mention turning it on, just stick the knee bar in and get going.
Maybe I am not sticking the bar in?
I bet you are all laughing at me!
