Other then the stitch length indicator being damaged, it was just the usual strip down, clean/lube and replace all the old rubber feet, etc.
Was expensive overall when i add it all up in CAD but this auld guy still smiles that he now has a good as new FW. Some older machines just need to be saved for future use i say.
Anyways, thanks for your reply and enjoy yer day
