The machine shows cosmetic wear to the decals and surface from age and use, but much of the ornate detailing remains vivid. Very nice aesthetic condition, but some conventional use wear such as base scuffs and latch wear; cover has some edge fraying (see photos). The clutch is stuck and won’t move, the hand wheel is on the inside that moves the needle up and down so there’s a problem with the bobbing of the needle
