I don't know which model - looks like something out of the 80s - it is pretty basic. I would have to do some digging at this point. It's been lurking around for months. It has a really cool table. I suppose if it ever does work it will be a fine machine.

Some of those are still pretty good machines. Like I said earlier in this thread, my favorite workhorse of the moment is a Pfaff from the 90s... "basic" in that it's all mechanical...

Everything else is ok - it just zags in slow motion.

Technically, you could just wire directly to the motor if it's external.... for testing purposes. Then if it works, it's worth getting the cord...

It already seems to have a bed head or something. I can't get excited about it...
