Mine runs very well...forming beautiful stitches after some simple adjustments...just some minor problems that taking it in for a tune up will cure. It won't sew in reverse, the slide plate needs to be either adjusted or replaced & needs a new spool pin. The previous owner did not clean or oil it, so I got busy & after a waxing the finish, my little gem looks & runs beautifully...will have to set it in a new case, as mine just about crumbled in my hands as I touched it. Found a new case made especially for 3/4 size machines that I have purchased for my Singer 185K & my Spartan 192K & will now get for my new Singer 285K as well...I just love these solid old machines...what a great sewing experience......HowardHowardo Sewingmachinesteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128513064007861000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873280518345422701.post-41129927709921800892012-01-21T15:03:27.343-05:002012-01-21T15:03:27.343-05:00I have this very machine and have used it ever sin...I have this very machine and have used it ever since I received for my birthday when I was 12.
