When does it become a boat anchor?
I got a Vigorelli for $10. No loss, right? Did not move at all and that was the challenge. I've gotten it to move but not well. The plastic/bakelite cams and knobs seem to be frozen solid. Did I say the machine was filthy? I've cleaned, PB blasted, lubed, cleaned some more. No avail.
I'm ready to dump it. But where? Recycler? Trash? Craigslist? What do you do when one becomes a boat anchor? I have other machines I'd rather deal with. This was my excursion into a newer model.
I'm not thrilled with my 319 either.
I'm not impressed with the 1960 era machines. My old, filthy, oil encrusted 1874 Davis barely ran when I got it. Took the innards out, cleaned, fresh oil, and now it runs well. These new fangled machines aren't nearly as friendly.
