Before I bought this beauty, I had incorrectly assumed that it was just another industrial machine, only in an attractive table, making it acceptable for use in the home.
Oh, how very wrong I was! Model 95 is a diddy little thing, and could easily be mistaken for a regular domestic machine. Small, but wickedly heavy. Perhaps it could be described as the Industrial Featherweight… Mrs Twingo can't possibly object to me keeping this one. The cupboard looks so much better than my current set up, it would be easier to clean, and reduce the clutter spread over my current workspace.
Although dusty, the machine itself it surprisingly free from dried oil stains, fluff, gunk, and all the other nasties that lurk within the mechanics. It's the cupboard that needs more attention. There are a few tacks and staples that need reseating, the laminate around the door edges has peeled off in places, and the insides are filthy. Fortunately, there didn't seem to be anything living within it.
@Roger – where do you buy your needles? And am I right in thinking normal high shank industrial presser feet should be used?
