Don't remember whatever happened to my Touch n' Sew though. Never thought it would be vintage someday... a little short sighted I guess. :roll: :roll:

Both my vintage Vikings got soaking wet. The one was my old one that I bought new back in the late 70's the other was one my brother got off ebay for me. It was immaculate. Now the carrying case is a complete ruin and the machine is rusted and won't move and the books are mildewed. I am just sick. So I have decided that the vintage machines I do have need new homes some place with someone who has room to care for them. I am working on getting the Vikings moving again. Hopefully they both will. My 6370 is moving but it lost some more of its paint and the 6430 is rusted stiff. I just sprayed that one with oil to try and loosen it up. I worked so hard to get my 6370 running again and now this. I don't want anymore to be ruined. I moved my Kenmore in the house in the space where the treadle was just need to put the machine in the cabinet.

It is a very expense and extremely nice machine to own. These are Italian machines and they are built with the precision of a Ferrari and were mainly found in the north eastern US. The reason being thats where most of the money was back in the day.
IMO you can not go wrong with one!!

Ok can I officially cry now? I just took the back off the motor section of the 6430 and found this...
I think if someone wants them with all their attachements etc I would just give them to them if they paid for shipping.
Thats how sick I feel right now.
