She was a bit rough, and missing a couple of parts that I had not noticed, but I had spares for most and should have the Stitch length adjustment screw sorted out soon.

Here she is on arrival next to the Windsor B

One of the most oil barren landscapes I have witnessed...
She does not move smooth at all..(for now) There is actually a light squeak when it tries to move.

The face is no better.
Considering the lack of lint, the stiffness was disheartening

the presser foot assembly was shown in the ad, so I am going to go through the boxes and padding again, looking for parts packed loosely. If I do not find it I will write the seller. I have a spare of this part anyway.

The presser foot lift arm was not in the ad, I had one of these as well.

The better pic are on Heathers phone, be we did not transfer them last night. I have asked her to move them when she gets a chance today.

here is the one "post initial cleanup" shot I have on my phone.

Sorta. I have actually sold more than I have bought this last month. Last night my Grover & Baker #9 Lockstitch was loaded up and driven to her new home.

It is funny you should say that, I was mentioning last night that getting sewing machines in the mail is kind like Christmas but you do not know if Santa or the Grinch packed your present....

Thanks, I am really looking forward to doing the refresh of the surface. Those decals should really "pop" once cleaned up
