Finally got caught up with reading the pages that have accumulated since I left for NM. You all have been very chatty.
DH picked up a Singer Touch and Swear 640 for free, missing power cord and front plate. The gears look ok; will find out when power is applied. I left the Necchi in NM and brought home the Singer 401 to refurbish.
I am very far behind on getting machines working - and have 4yo granddaughter to entertain for a couple of weeks.
So glad to be back home and happy to see all the new machines that have new homes on this board.
