My Machine!

Okay so I'm watching an online video on sewing machines last evening ( yeah I know, I'm odd oh well!)  Anyway, the woman starts talking about Vintage Machines, and how they have a tension wheel on the outside where as newer machines have it on the inside. I stop , Wait a minute My Machine has the Tension Wheel on the outside!!! My Machine is Vintage???? So I had to look up the manufacturing year for My Machine - 1979!!!!  That's just a year after my son was born! WOW!! I guess I've had her for a spell eh!!  And I wonder why she acts up from time to time, LOL

 She still does the job though! Have been considering a new one just haven't a clue which there are so many choices out there!
