after 25 hours of repair, cleaning and lubrication, this pfaff select 1546 sewing machine has been rescued from oblivion. here's a quick worklog
how i found it at a thrift store for $30. it looked grubby but OK on the outside, and didn't make any broken-pieces sounds when i shook it around
i plugged it in and it turned on. i tried to turn the handwheel, and it immediately seized up. it made a terrible metal-on-metal grinding sound that was a dagger in my heart.
