    It wouldn't be hard to do that warranty - especially at those prices.

    That mis-spelling alone raised my suspicions, but the price doesn't help. Who on Earth would restore a 306?? Bought one yesterday for $23 and it's almost that shiny.

    I like the shop idea. They are a bit grand with the pricing in my opinion.

    I don't know whether this light modification is brilliant or crazy...

    I can remember back in the day we saw little toy cars made in Japan - made out of used orange juice cans. Why not a light?

    I think the can part is smart; I have a berry picker my grandpa made by welding nails to an old tin can, and I like the ingenuity. It looks to me like they might have fitted a regular-size light bulb in there, though, and that seems like a lot of heat very close to my hand.

    No pesky foot or knee controllers with this one. It's operated by brain power. Not much of a sewing surface, though.

    I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it...

    I offer the same warranty on my work but only for 1 year, and my prices are much lower. I actually saw his website when I was putting together my page and used it for my page. Ok, I kind of stole it from him. http://grantgray88.wix.com/sewrestor...our-story/ccno

    Do the drawers pull all the way through or is this set up to be a left handed machine? I'm so confused.
