A friend gave this to me today. What is it? And what size needle does it take if I can tighten every thing up that is not frozen. It has more rust than paint. It is heavy for the size. The base is 8 ¼ x 13 ¼ .the teeth on hand crank wheel is not tight, the bobbin winder is very loose also. [ATTACH=CONFIG]350497[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]350498[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]350499[/ATTACH]
Am not Billy but that looks like the Avona handcrank I played with at my aunt's house. I cannot tell you anything except that because her was rusted frozen in parts and I could either quilt or play with her machine. I quilted til I wilted and then some but finished up my great-aunt's quilt. Next year, I get to play with the Avona or so my aunt says.
