Hi Lifeboat H? There is a?Husqvarna Optima 610 going spare in Clinton ON originally?from the UK and recently blew a capacitor, I got it working since the grease had seized most of the rotating?parts. I was on the second leg finishing a blind hem when it smoked. I was running on 220v using both phases on a "split socket"? :-/ My guess is you don't want a modern machine even though it?is a solid cast aluminium frame. I bought my mother a?Brother SQ9130 she likes that better much easier for someone 84y regarding the speed control. I hope to be visiting Canada from the UK in September.

The interest started with a love for Husqvarna sewing machines, and I went and bought a 6020 from 1967 or so, then a Class 12 from 1961.? Then a Singer 9W, which is why I came to this group.? I am in Toronto. |

Thank you for the kind welcome! I hope you can get back to Turtle Island (North America) again soon.
And thanks for the offer of the Optima. ?I don¡¯t need that one, but good looking out! ?Modern Husqvarnas can be very nice, though. I have three. ?Trying to restrain myself from acquiring too many machines here..... Is it futile? |
