I've cleaned and oiled it and tried it out, and seems to be working well to my untrained eye. I spent some time reading the manual, fiddling with the tension on the bobbin case and the thread tension plates and the stitches look OK to me. There's quite a few people selling the tables with the pedal near me, which I'm curious about because I'm a beginner and would like to free my right hand. This one wouldn't be able to fit into one of those would it? Since it's a 3/4 size.
I'm perfectly fine learning to deal with the hand crank though
