Tell him if he breaks it

She's BEAUTIFUL! Now, I think she needs an appropriate name.

My grandmother had one like yours and on hers the key turned counter clockwise. You may have to push the top down a tad when turning the key because over time the wood shifts and make the lock a bit harder to undue.

I used the key from the freebee little jewelry box that Lane used to give away to graduating senior girls.

The Mechanism may be stuck. Whether or not it is, a little WD 40 would loosen it, then your "found something that fits" might turn. Try both ways.

Hello Mamagus,

You lucky cake. What a fantastic machine. Yes, it's definitely a 128K, manufactured in Scotland, and it's so similar to mine. Click on this link http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-130994-11.htm Looking at the serial numbers, yours came off the production line 4851 machines after mine.

If you need help with threading, adjusting the tension or oiling and cleaning, watch my Youtube videos. Go to my profile and you will find the link there.

And don't even think of putting a motor on it, otherwise I will come straight round your place and kidnap the machine in the interests of its own safety. Distance no object.
