Got a "new" machine today
 

$19.00 at the thrift store.

It is a White model 1620.
It didn't come with accessories but I have some that fit. No controller either, but I have one that fits.
I put a different foot on, cleaned and oiled it a bit and it makes a good stitch.

I need to download a manual and I should be set.

Did I get a good deal?

Got rid of the final squeak and adjusted bobbin tension

So far, I am thrilled!

Wire on light needs attention though.

Makes a good stitch and runs like a scalded ape!

Then I'd say you got a great deal!

Cari

That' a great deal! Are you sure the "store alarms" didn't go off? When I get a "steal of a deal", I ask the cashiers if their store alarm will go off when I leave.

(Yesterday I bought a brand new purse originally $59 ... marked down to $11.80 ... had $10 coupon ... so I only paid $1.93 (including tax). I rarely get deals like this.

Oooh Sharon-that's a screamin' good deal!

I'm having a good run here lately. Trying to figure out what I did to deserve it...

Hopefully it doesn't mean there's something bad lurking around the corner...

Went to a goodwill week before Easter and they were have a sale....all clothes $1.23 each, all purses $1.23, shoes buy one pair at half price other free! Other things in store were all 50% off marked prices. People's cart were mountains.....it was fun......found stuff for grands.......

I looooooove the thrift store!

I hate buying anything new and always try the thrift store first to try and get it dirt cheap unless I'm buying gifts.

Sounds like a great deal to me! Enjoy your new purchase.

The thing is soooooooooo quiet!

I can't believe how quiet it is.

Now I don't have to worry about waking people up when I sew.

Sounds like a great deal to me. Our thrift stores doesn't have much worth buying. Seems the good stuff I donate doesn't end up here.
