This machine looks lovely. I've posted some pictures. Wheel won't turn yet, but I will work on that. Needs rewiring, and I am not willing to do that unsupervised by an expert. How do I find someone that can do the wiring for me? I may also need a new foot controller. How do you get the machine out of the art deco (type 42 I think) cabinet without cutting the wires to the foot controller?

I am in Northern Illinois. Not sure how to find a trustworthy repair person. There's one machine seller with repair staff that can probably handle it, but I don't like or trust the place.

So excited. I think she's a beauty! The drawers have all kinds of thinks like pinking shears, a box full of feet, original manual, and even the bill of sale. On December 11, 1948, a woman in Phoenix, Il. bought this machine for $260, and the bench for $26. My purchase at $100 for both is pretty good I'd say!

Thanks
