    This Slant Singer found her way to my house as well... she is now getting a bubble bath and she had to soak! she had no moving parts when I brought her home last night... some wiring and she is now sewing like a PRO.... She came with the cabinet and now that is being cleaned up.. Meet Betty!

    I had one that I took to college (got it as a HS graduation gift) -- loved that baby.
