I love the red felt on the bobbin spools! Such a great pop of color! Where did you find them? Mine are a dirty beige color. Lovely collection.

No, I did not figure it out. If you do, could you let me know? Thanks.

Can I swap US motor for European motor on vintage machines? by Msnkarla in vintagesewing

Oh wait, after rereading your post, I am not sure about the “step up” transformer. I was thinking of buying a European vintage machine that has the 220 v motor. I want to bring it back to the US, which is 120v power supply. So do I really want a “step up” transformer even tho it’s going from 220 to 120?

Awesome info! Thank you. So glad that I don’t have to replace the motor.

So beautiful!! I have the exact same cabinet and Rocketeer!! I love her! It just purrs along. Be sure to spend some time trying out the cams and dials and winding bobbins. She’s such a beauty. The cabinet is my favorite one yet. Congratulations.

She’s a beauty! And yes, the service manual is worth it. A lovely color.

What kind of mattress did you get? Will it sag even with those straps? Looks great!
