I hope this machine doesn't suffer the same fate (too lazy to sell it)

More crimes against sewing machines. This one looks like a 99 clone. Maybe whatever they did is reversible.

WHEW - last night I bought out the leftovers of a parts stash from an OSMG found in a back closet of a store that closed a few weeks ago!!! He must have quit in 1975! The ad was horribly written. The ad was for some sewing machine parts and make offer - I did - she took it... It was a 4 hour round trip. It was worth it.... I'm overwhelmed. I feel so blessed... Now I have parts to fix the touch and sew......... maybe some glue......

Oh the salesmanship! Even if it's true, I'm sure they only need the money to get those cataracts removed http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/sunny...ble/1029675829
