Well, my son came and they brought it in. Now that there is some light on it, I notice several, possibly serious things that are not right.
There are some problems that I will not be able to fix. The stitch selector knobs are rusted and don't move. The little rubber wheel that has to be moved up to put the bobbin in place is completely worn and needs replacing.
When he demonstrated th3=e machine he pushed the knee lever and the machine moved up and down fast. When I tried it now, it absolutely grunted and barely moved.
Tomorrow is another day. After church I'll see if I can open it up and start oiling it. But I think these knobs have had it.
What do you guys think?
