You are so blessed with such wonderful friends. I have an old black singer , but it needs a potted motor or all new wireing for it and the foot pedal I guess, but here in Fulton,Ms I can't find anyone whom could help me to get it going again. It sewed beautifully before it started smoking after I had it cleaned and oiled. Now it doesn't work and I would love to get it going again. Once again congrats to a beautiful find on your doorstep.
