<---Before we get stuck in, let's just draw a veil over Mrs 1975 Singer's recent behaviour, shall we? - suffice to say, she's in disgrace and has been sent to a rehab clinic to recover from getting her levers in a twist ... I may end up having to commit her permanently ...
Today I fell in love .... (thanks to freecycle!)
D'you want a sneaky peek at his rippling torso?
Swoon!
Here he is in all his glory - an early 60s Japan-made Novum Deluxe Zig Zag Mark IX -
You should hear the motor - it just purrs, and the sewing action is like a knife through butter ... and so responsive on the treadle ...
Like a 60s Trabant! Maybe not beautiful, but oh so reliable ...
.... or a "Dauntless" WWII bomber ?
He shall be named 'Damiel', after Bruno Ganz's angel in "Wings of Desire"
Look at that feed dog mechanism ... so .... handsome ....
... and he brought gifts too, look:
I have to go now ....
... Damiel and I have some catching up to do ...
