How old before it's vintage?
Hi, all! I was just given a Swedish-made Viking/Husqvarna 210 Sew Easy. I believe it's about 20 years old, hence the title! The machine is clean as a whistle and sews beautiful straight and zig-zag stitches, but it's rather noisy. The manual says not to lubricate the machine.
So - what's everyones' feeling - do I go ahead and try to open it up and lubricate, or do I leave it alone and sew on it until it dies? Alternatively, I could take it in for a tune-up with the OSMG, but that would cost money and I'm cheap! Do any of you have this model? What do you think of it? It's nice and light, which is a plus for classes.
Thank you!
