I had to order a power cord and a new bobbin case, and she immediately worked. She only stiched a few inches before she slowed down. After some investigation, I noticed the belt was slipping. So I took the belt off and discovered it was fine, but it wasn't exactly round after sitting for who knows how long. I turned the belt inside out and let it rest for 2 days. After re-assembly, she sews beautifully! Yea!
