help with vintage machines?

it depends on your comfort level with wiring. It's not very complex at all. Any sewing machine repair shop should be able to do it for you as well. Of the 4 machines I've picked up in the last 6 months none have had to be rewired.. one had a loose wire that I just had to tighten the screw on.

Just make sure to inspect the wiring before you plug it in. Cracked or rubbery wiring could give you a bad shock or even a burn. When a machine is older than I am, I always think the wiring should be suspect.

I hope you get this machine. After all the comments I had read on this board, I bought a 1956 Singer 99 on craigslist for $90 and I LOVE it!! I haven't used anything else since then, but I've only been quilting - no embroidery or garment sewing. Hope you get it!!
