My father was a sewing machine mechanic all his life, in industrial situations, big clothing factories and the like. But he used to get asked to look at heaps of domestic machines like this one.
'Always very fiddly' he would say but he would get them going no problem. There was never really much wrong with them, built like the proverbial brick they were and he would just do the big clean up and lubricate properly and off they'd go again.
I still have a bit of a soft spot for what was a very useful home appliance and some of them like yours can be quite an artistic piece of work.
Nice ...
