Congratulations on your purchase. It looks like she was welled loved and used. Sure she will work when you clean her up.

She uses those long thin bobbins. My mom's first electric machine had these(I have it and it still sews) Are bobbins still available?

Yes someone left her in a old house and water came in on her and the cabinet looks good in the pictures but it is badly water damaged. I am hoping that Billy can put one of those pretty painted jobs on her. I would love to keep the original decals on her but they sure are in bad shape. they are the phoenix and the machine is a great machine. I don't think the decals can be bought and I do not know if they can be reproduce.

Yes she takes the long bobbins, and I was not sure how to get them out of the machine at first. I have sewed on her and she does great as long as I know how to push the peddle right. heheh :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

This machine is a perfect candidate for a repaint! I can not get the decals like came on the machine but I do have several designs I can make for it.

I cant wait to get my paws on it because the color you chose will be gorgeous!!
