Yes, you read that right. We donated the cabinet and I 'unstuck' the reverse button, the presser foot bar, and several of the joints that should have moved, but didn't. Sad ending though....the plastic cam stack is broken. Replacement is $55, or $45 on ebay. Replacement looks simple enough, as there is a 'how to' video, but I don't know if I want to spend the money on a machine I don't plan on using. I don't want to spend that much on a machine to donate either. I could part it out, but for now, it will sew a straight stitch, so maybe when 'my ship comes in',I'll think about buying the part and having my sweet hubby fix it. The GOOD news, is, that while hubby was buying the Viking, he was telling the story about how we donate to the Sewing Machine Project, and one of the gals working sent him to her house and GAVE us a modern Singer 30518 to donate to the Sewing Machine Project. Blessings keep flowing! <br /><br />I hope all your gears are in good shape and you get this one running!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11994575359990994574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133305403334770394.post-63532487549348827422012-10-13T23:43:07.904-04:002012-10-13T23:43:07.904-04:00SMAD! that's what I have!

It's an Eau Claire Deluxe, in a cabinet and my spousal equivalent says NO MORE SEWING MACHINES! I'm not quite sure what that means. Love your posts and quests!Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731044654465285440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133305403334770394.post-20115210136064392652012-10-13T22:36:47.017-04:002012-10-13T22:36:47.017-04:00I brought home a flat bed kenmore that only does s...I brought home a flat bed kenmore that only does straight stitch and zig zag today. Needs a new belt, but it is the 1.2 amp motor. The price of 13.00 helped a lot too! Ann from KYnoreply@blogger.com
