Thanks again for all the warm welcomes! I see I have a few neighbors from MI here. Yep, I got my machine issue resolved. I had the plugs in the wrong outlets. Sheesh. I'm totally blaming that one on the HEAT! LOL. Now I just need to find the outer bobbin shuttle assembly.. sigh.... some day I'll get to use this machine. Oh well... I did get it for a steal.... so I really can't complain. Thanks to all.
