There's no money in old Japanese sewing machines. None what so ever. As lovely, sturdy and reliable this green Planet from the 60's or 70's is, it will never be worth more the $39.99 that I paid for it.
I was pondering this very question while standing in the check out at the dollar store this morning, gazing idly at all the junky plastic stuff they have, when the lady standing next to me with a package of hot dog buns shook her head and said "So much stuff!"
It came to me then, in a flash! Green Planet! I have a used green Planet sewing machine. I have environmental street cred! I am saving the world, one old sewing machine at at a time....
Well, it will do, as a rationalization......But it remains to be seen which one I run out first, rationalizations or room....lol
Yippee! A new post. Good to see a new post. I just scored a Brother XL750 (late 60s - early 70s?) sews like a dream, the only thing I have to fix is the mechanism that lowers the feed dogs... Looking forward to more of your posts.
ReplyDeleteand I fixed those dogs!
ReplyDeleteIf everyone does there part we can save them one by one. I love those machines also.
