The machine is all there and just needs some TLC to get her up and treadling.
Oh she is so beautiful and your hubby is a great guy indeed!!! That is the later version of mine that I have in the garage needing a good clean up. At least the irons are finished!!
If you give me the serial number off of it I can date the machine for you. The serial maybe located on the needlebar and on the bed of the machine depending on the year. I can not believe you have the needles to go with it also!! That is a find in itself. ;)

Billy the number stamped on the bed of the machine under the front slide plate is Y 2506488. I'm am glad that I got those needles because my DH said that he remembered the name from them. He told me he paid $30.00 for the whole machine. I am retiring at the end of April so he told me I needed another project machine to keep me busy. I think he is catching the same disease the rest of us have.
