I hate when stuff like this happens. Especia...:-( <br /><br />I hate when stuff like this happens. Especially with an older machine for which you had high hopes, or which you used for many, many years before the trouble. <br /><br />You've inspired me to post about my Mom's sewing machines. She has four: a 1960s Kenmore that wa a gift from Grandma; an early-1990s Brother that is her main work-horse, since the old Kenmore needs a lot of help; my fancy Brother CS6000i, just a couple years old and that Mom uses for fancy stitches; and a late-1990s Pfaff serger that was a hand-me-down to Mom from Aunt Sophie upon her purchase of a brand-new Pfaff serger that does everything except your taxes.<br /><br />Hmm...a new post is writing itself.Miss Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13210249894351503887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16882602.post-360529703524329582011-08-18T12:21:10.715-07:002011-08-18T12:21:10.715-07:00I converted my Spartan to a hand crank last week. ...I converted my Spartan to a hand crank last week. It sews beautifully! It worked with the motor, but, I hadn't done more than test it with the motor on it because I didn't have a belt for it at first. I'll use it with the motor sometimes, but, I'm having too much fun hand cranking it right now. Check with Cindy Peters for a spoked hand wheel and a crank. Then you will like these little beauties. I'm kinda afraid of some of these old motors and wiring, especially if someone has messed with the wiring (especially while drinking).Cheryl's Teapots2Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005480747596617459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16882602.post-52150226871668828992011-08-15T17:19:46.174-07:002011-08-15T17:19:46.174-07:00What they said.

So can you run AC/DC now or still American only.
