This hand cranked 115 is to be a utilitarian machine. It will be built and maintained as a work in progress working machine used to repair canvas type materials in remote settings. I have not cleaned it. I have oiled it, replaced a face plate, removed the light and motor. I have installed an after market HC and tried sewing with up to v-92 polyester. It does handle the large thread but the smallish bobbin limits the amount used at one filling. Think I'll limit it to 69 thread. I'm going to trick this machine out to make it one of my favorites. I say this about each new acquisition, then comes along another idea. Space and time may change my habits. This has to be the last machine. I will spend my time enjoying the ones I have.[ATTACH=CONFIG]505357[/ATTACH]
