The 70 looks like it is in close to the same shape as mine was when I started. Good luck and if you need anything, let me know. Beener, How are you coming with getting your machine adjusted to sew? I finished my clean-up on the 28k70, and have it sewing (at least by hand crank). I never will get it to look as good as your 29k58, but it's useable now. The Stitch Regulator and Check Lever are pretty well worn, and the Bobbin Winder is pretty sloppy, but everything else is in pretty good shape. I have a Stitch Regulator coming for it, and I dressed the thread notch down in the Check Lever eye so thicker thread won't snag. As a side note, I hadn't noticed that the Needle Bar Driving Lever (top arm) on mine was from an earlier model, probably a 29-4, and it doesn't have the adjustable Check Lever feature that is on the later models. It seems to sew ok with this arrangement. Nice thing about these old machines; parts will interchange on them. CD Quote "I sew, I sew, so it's off to work I go....."
