Hmmm. The motor went in, and it worked.  Kind of.  I've now discovered that there is a gear spring in the hand wheel that is broken.  Bother!!!  Looks like I'll have to buy a whole handwheel just for that part, if I can find one...

Done a bit more to the striped top but not feeling great, it looks wonky to me so no photo!  Had enough for today.

Greybird that looks in remarkably good condition, so enjoy playing with this.

I'm a bit more with it, this afternoon and working on the yoke of my Nicks blouse. I'm glad I had the sense to leave it alone, yesterday. I just need to remember to remove the big piece of tape saying FACING! before I turn it all the right way out.

 My daughter visited at the weekend and before she came she asked if she could bring this machine which she bought a couple of years ago and hadn't used. I thought she wanted help playing with it (she's relatively new to sewing), but no, she was giving it to me! Now we've got the bobbin in the right way up it runs and stitches beautifully! Sadly I don't have anywhere to leave it set up permanently so I will have to develop some muscles to carry it up and down stairs as necessary.
