Don't know much about sewing machines, but it does work. Plugged it in and spun it up, everything seemed to run smoothly. Has likely been stored in its case for decades. Lots of extras and instructions. Patched up power cord in a couple of spots where insulation was beginning to Crack, just a bit of electrical tape. Cord is actually in good shape for its age, definitely still trustworthy. Foot pedal functions, even the light worked. Seems to be in excellent condition........Upstairs
