Well, I bought it. It’s in really good shape and I just need to clean and oil it—and figure out how to keep the thread from jumping out of the needle after a couple inches. There was no manual and no demo in youtube that she could find specifically on how to thread it. I can pay the 5.99 to download the manual online. I’ve never used a machine that has the tension discs on the back side. It feels all backwards and a bit complicated to even see them. I know I’ll get used to it.
Before I went all the way out to her house, I asked her many questions and then was upfront that I was only willing to spend $25 on a machine that may need to be professionally cleaned or serviced. She asked if I found it to be in very good condition and sewed on it, would I consider $30. (I was really willing to go up to $35 if all was great. But after neither of us could figure out how to make it keep sewing for an entire 5 inches, She asked me to pay what I thought was fair. I said $30 and she was very happy with it and happy it’s going to be used.
