Thanks for the offer Rodney! I "borrowed" the clamp from my Singer 15 and it works well enough. It sits a little high - I can see the bottom of the needle bar poking out, but it holds the needle nice and tight. I will just order a new one from Sew Classic; looks like they're less than $2 and I need a new belt and some other random bits from them anyway.
Some "beauty" shots - I haven't cleaned or oiled her yet, this is pretty much how I got her, aside from adding the borrowed needle clamp.

Someone put tape on her nose, like I do to my cat sometimes. LOL

And, her pretty metal innards. I like the design, it seems very elegant and simple.

I didn't have time to finish fixing the tension but I really LIKE how she moves and sounds. She's speedy too, when I put the pedal down she BOOGIES. And gosh she's so pretty! Looks and moves - this girl has it all! LOL A little oil and a little adjusting and I think she'll be a good hard worker.
The case is pretty bad - stained and wobbly and sort of broken up. I think I can salvage it, though. It doesn't stink, at least!
