My son has always been a car guy. He can get into any car and repair most of them. When he was 13 I bought an old BMW at a junk yard and gave it to him. He bought a $15 manual, repaired it, and sold it for $500.

Because he could break into anything, my son-in-law always called him "My Brother-in-law the Car Thief."

Did you notice their is no numbers on the tension...only a screw you turn. I have a 1935 Feather Weight and the tension is just like that. You certainly have a beauty. Enjoy!!!

They learn a lot at home watching TV and using the computer, too. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. In my career I've taught future college professors, accountants, successful farmers, teachers, moms and dads, rapists, alcoholics, murderers, and the list goes on.

I've already seen those keys at antique shops and flea markets.

She's georgous. I have her twin sister (I call her the cranky girl) Was able to interest sons in sewing by "allowing" them to "be the engine" when we lived in Alaska. They cranked (while making engine noises) I sewed. Hope your beauty makes you as happy as mine does.

Maybe I can remember that!

I was always taught "Lefty loosey, Righty tighty"

Easy to remember and always works!

I have a dome top machine that I received after an aunt passed. Nobody else wanted it so (lucky me) I got it!! Mine is a bit newer and is missing the knee lever that actuates the motor. Anyone know where I might find one of those?
