I wonder what happened to the treadle. No motor or electrics and is missing a slideplate. And what is with all of the aerial shots?

Free machine? That usually does it for me.

Perhaps hoping it will go viral?
It amused me to no end though. I think I've experienced most of those problems.

I didn't get to see the second one before it was pulled but the first idiot either can't read or can't type...got the serial number wrong in the text. Wonder which one he looked up?

He looked up his perceived number. A G7 with 7 digits would be well past 1913, which my G2606143 is. Ugh. Yes, that number is memorized. DH may be right. This may be an illness.

The second one was a free, late model Singer sewing machine that had a disintegrated gear.
