This thing is in EXCELLENT shape for it's age. (See Pics) It has both the 4 "C" pack and a rechargeable pack. (Don't know if the rechargeable pack works or not) Has the original manual and a 8" coil. Not sure if it works or not. I tried the "C" pack a long time ago and the needle did move just a bit but not sure what was happening. I can't imagine it's something that couldn't be fixed at home, but I've been wrong many a time before! It also has a real nice hard case but will need new foam inside. I'm gonna ask $200.00 shipped in the lower 48. If this is out of line then don't hesitate to tell me!

Thanks,

Gilly
 
Gilly,
Sometimes on those battery boxes the contact points get dirty, they are two little shiny places where the two springs make contact with the pack. Also check to see if both springs are not bent back below the surface of the internal battery box. You should be able to feel the tips of them with your finger in there. If that's all ok I would guess that you might have a bad battery holder, open it up and look at the wiring inside to make sure everything is connected and tight. I would be interested in the machine... but couldn't give near that much for it because it isn't working. If you send it in it will probably cost 90-120 bucks for them to repair if it's a problem in the curcuit board. I would offer you $80, please don't be offended, I have bought several others in working order for $100-140 range. It's a great old machine when it works right. Hope you can get it working. If I can be of any other help feel free to ask, I have used the whites version of this machine and quite a few others like it. Thanks.
