Well I did go back and get him. I found the case so that came home with me too. Everything moves freely, but he is definitely grimy and needs a good cleaning and oiling. The motor runs and the machine feeds but I do have to figure out how to thread him before I see an actual stitch! I am still very green with vintage machines so a little study is necessary. And the cords are pretty worn at the machine connector end, repair is necessary there before I do any more playing since I can make him run just by wiggling the controller cord! The motor is a Hamilton Beach, but it is too dirty to read much else. I am thinking it will be fun to get him back in running condition. I really don't think he was used much, there is no wear on the stitch plate at all. It seems pretty obvious that the wear to both cords is due wrapping them around the machine and bending them at the connectors.
