Throw away a working machine?
Would you throw away a working sewing machine? What would you do with this machine?
Machine: 1970s store brand Japanese flatbed sewing machine with case, looks great, has always sewn well and still does, but has cracked nylon gears reinforced with super glue and baking soda ...no manual anywhere.
If rehoming, the machine could come with a few generic low shank feet, tools and a little accessory box. After disclosing the cracks, I could give only the machine away free or include the simple accessories and sell the machine cheaply for the value of the accessories.
The machine is not a good candidate for a beginning sewing person because the bobbin is not convenient to access and there is no manual, (none found online).
Also, I do have the original sewing table made for this machine which I could include. It needs tightening and refinishing.
What would you do with a machine like this?
