I hope this machine doesn't suffer the same fate (too lazy to sell it)

She could be a hoarder. By now the machine might not even be visible, let alone accessible.

After I posted I remembered you're trying to get rid of machines, not adopt more!

More crimes against sewing machines. This one looks like a 99 clone. Maybe whatever they did is reversible.

I can't see that anything was done to it, unless that gooseneck is somehow attached. I wonder if they are just using the light on it as a lamp?

It was National CAPS LOCK Day today. Maybe they were posting in honor of that?

Exactly. Worst yet, I had to sneak a 411G into the house last week. I'm not going to get away with that again

No, I imagine your new kangaroo won't be at all happy with it, Tammi. They prefer a featherweight

WHEW - last night I bought out the leftovers of a parts stash from an OSMG found in a back closet of a store that closed a few weeks ago!!! He must have quit in 1975! The ad was horribly written. The ad was for some sewing machine parts and make offer - I did - she took it... It was a 4 hour round trip. It was worth it.... I'm overwhelmed. I feel so blessed... Now I have parts to fix the touch and sew......... maybe some glue......

Oh the salesmanship! Even if it's true, I'm sure they only need the money to get those cataracts removed http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/sunny...ble/1029675829
