The last thing the guy that dropped this beast off was “don’t forget to keep your hands clear, that’ll sew through your bones!”
I immediately named her Moopsy!

Damn nice find! Full cast iron body, you don’t see stuff like that anymore.
She is a rental for some specialist work I could rely on my walking foot, but they offered to sell her to me, and it’s hard not to say yes. The thing is though she’s 160kg! If I buy her I’m forever committing to hiring help to move workshop (which I have to do 1-3 times a year).
Btw she’s a mid 70s LG-158, can be threaded up with two parallel needles, has a walking needle too, which is faster than the more modern 158s and leaves fewer “tracking” marks on leather and waxed cotton than my standard walking foot.
