Here’s a machine which has obviously done quite a bit of work in its time but, fortunately, in the hands of an owner whom, I’m guessing, kept it regularly serviced and cleaned - for it needed a minimum amount of adjustment to bring it back to the Factory settings during its workshop-time.
It features the late-model paperclip decals – there’s some thinning at the front edge.
Paintwork is generally good with a fine shine but with perhaps slightly more than the usual number of pin marks and a couple of match-head-size flaws at the rear to the protective lacquer that’s done its job and prevented any damage to the original paintwork.
Good, strong box with no odor..
Machine comes with a range of attachments/feet, a bound photocopy of the original full-size handbook and a packet of Schmetz needles.
Fully cleaned inside and out, serviced and sew tested before leaving the workshop.
Electrically tested for your safety. Pictures are of the actual machine. Any bright marks are from the flash - all flaws are always described in full.
Price includes comprehensive insured air shipping to your door
