But in the process I had to get this because it was too good to pass up!!! I know it isnt really vintage machine material but it will look really good in my other collection I have and I cant wait to play it!!

But I have seen a lot of manuals lately and I am trying to amass the largest collection of user manuals for sewing machines that I can even if I do not own them yet!! Plus it helps us out here because if you need some information or a copy I have it and I can just give it to you instead of you having to try and to find one to buy.

Well, the auction has ended, so I hope you bought it. Glad to see you "out and about" so to speak. We have all been missing you and your words of wisdom. Welcome home!

quiltdoctor,
I got the same one, had to put a new cord on mine too. My zig zag was froze up, got that freed up and then found that the hook had some burrs on it. Got those mostly taken care of this afternoon and now it doesn't snag the upper thread at least. Mine came with a Necchi cabinet that has a few water spots on it. Machine has grime on it like yours, brown crap.

I don't really name my machines, but she may be just have to be Cookie. :)
