I acquired this delightful machine from someone moving and not wishing to take it with them -- no idea that it might actually work:) It did. It still does, but developed a non-cyclical clunk in the motor area, so I stopped using it. I can see how to get the motor out, except for one case screw that is inoperable. I'll work on it. Meanwhile, has anyone ever tried to replace or repair a motor on this or similar machine, and what am I likely to face!?
