Rescued Cinderella
DH and I saw this little beauty last Wednesday. Overnight I researched her background (not much info out there) but saw a few postings here on the QB. Took the chance she was still there on Thursday. Yes! She needs some spa time (dust, grime and chrome shined), a new box built for her, and serious wiring/foot pedal. The motor actually plugs in to a box that is wired to the foot petal- all different from my other vintage- FW and 15-91. But her flowers are so pretty. Thanks to the QB members' postings and help, I feel confident that I can build a box and get this little one running. If anyone has any suggestions, please post or PM me.

I have the exact same little 'Cinderella' from a flea mkt for $10! But this was almost 20 yrs ago and the motor was "sparking" so I've used it as a bookend on a shelf. It is actually the second one I have been fortunate to find--the other in a yard sale (which I re-sold). Maybe some day I will put a new motor on and use it. They are so cute--were these small machines originally intended for young stitchers--does anyone know?
