    Is there supposed to be a belt there or is this a very early friction drive?

    And to know there will be so many sewing machines around on the day of the Giant Pumpkin Festival...

    If anyone was wondering, the water bottle was for scale. Because I was surprised at how small it was when I picked it up.

    I'm surprised too. I didn't realize it was that small either without seeing the bottle for scale.

    Neat! and great that monopas was able to pick it up for you too!

    that is one of the things I love about this group - we are willing to help each other out to get our dream machines home!

    Ok - so that is a nice way to say we're a bunch of enablers LOL!! But I think most of us think that is great!

    Hmmmm.. Wish I had logged back in sooner, I would have been able to help.... (You could have pm'ed me, Steve) But either way, I'm glad you got it worked out. That IS a wonderful little machine and going where it deserves to be.

    Sabine - Thanks, but I would not PM folks before they expressed an interest. (my foible)

    I just got the update that the machine is now safe and sound in Portland, awaiting the drive down this way in a couple weeks.

    Thanks again to monopas (and her Mom) for all the help and care taken with this old gem

    I'm new around here but just wanted to comment on how wonderful it is that people are helping each other this way!

    I'm in Northern Colorado and although I've found some machines there aren't nearly as many as in other, more populous states. That said, I'm happy to help out if someone needs it in my general vicinity. :-)
