Just now saw your post. Not to worry. You did okay on the buying price and chances are she'll run beautifully for you. You've also found the best place to purchase things for her. Check out their tutorials on how to care for her. You do need to clean it up and oil/grease and lube her with the right stuff. I've taught tons of people how to care for them but I'd caution anyone about taking your FW to just anyone. I taught a sewing machine repair guy about the FWs and he told me his training didn't teach him squat about taking care of the motors and that's very important. You have to use the right stuff or it doesn't lubricate the motors at all. I've fixed a lot of machines for people where a sewing machine repair guy messed them up or said they were worthless and wanted to sell the person a new machine. Just be smart. Your machine's value keeps climbing. Just saw a bunch of them for sale over $1000 each and they sold out in a day.
