    Hey, you are in the same area of California that my son lives. He found a nice 503 Singer I think it was, that I swear someone had oiled with a can of Pam spray. It was the stickiest awful mess you could imagine. After cleaning and tri-flow application I finally got it freed up and she sews!
    Maybe the same tech worked on that machine too and used his can of Pam!

    Happy to hear it cleaned up.

    Ethel

    Oh, well, that's still a killer deal! I love cheap machines, even if they're broken I definitely get my money's worth of entertainment out of them - the broken/filthy ones are the most entertaining, actually! Any all-metal machine I see for $20 or less goes home with me, pretty much as a rule, unless it's something common that I already have (and don't need parts for) or it's something that's really wrecked.
