I'm not 62 Joe but I also consider 1970 to be modern. Youngest daughter's machine is from 1970. Plastic galore and even though I've replaced the nylon gears and it was made in the awesome Scottish factory, it's obviously an inferior design: The four step buttonholer's third step is reverse ZZ and the plastic button doesn't engage fully because it's worn. No way to fix it makes it modern because I can fix anything on any of my pre-modern machines.
I use the term 'modern' as a negative and not just for sewing machines: Mobile (cell) phone obsessed zombies who walk along streets staring at it and avoid all contact with humans are as modern as employers who never respond when you make the effort to put in a job application.
Well at least I
sound 62 now
