Will need maintenance? Will need to move it out of bobbin winding mode.

The best part - the location - Cranberry! (ok so it's spelled Cranbury . . .)

Lol, I didn't even notice that, yes it's a perfect location for that machine.

Good chance that vintage also has a broken cam gear in it too. GREAT catch on the bobbin winder.

Yeah, it's a good possibility. I'm waiting on one of these to get here. I didn't buy it a friend on another forum gave it to me. I want it more for my collection than to actually use it, plus I really want to get a look at her insides. None of my other Brothers except the PE200 are new enough to have any plastic inside them.

I would buy that in a heart beat if it wasn't so far away.

Me too! I’ve been keeping an eye out for a Singer 16-188 nearby too. I had a shot at one close-by that sold for $350 last year or the year before, but couldn’t justify the expense just to play with it. I’m really just looking for a head to put in one of my existing treadles.
