Having the sewing machine 'fiddling' bug, and just about to send the Pinnock off to the charity shop, I thought I'd put out a WANTED on my local freecycle site, for an old not working sewing machine to try and fix and then give away. A nice gentleman has offered his mother's machine, which he hasn't parted with even though it doesn't work, and is delighted that someone might love it again. He describes it as
"probably a 1970's Husqvarna Viking"
Now it may be a lot of plastic, if he's right about the date, and I've no idea what's wrong with it. But anyone really keen and knowledgeable on these, or will google be my best friend?
Collecting tomorrow so more details once I've got it in hand. If I can get it working it will go back to freecycle or the charity shop, whichever he prefers I think.
Thanks
