If its an antique, one must cut the plug off and make sure you have a sheet
that goes with it about it not complying with modern safety standards if
actually powered up.

This sort of thing will mean a heck of a lot of old kit that people might
like to collect ends up as landfill, sadly.

Hi All

Can you spot the errors made by putting this sewing machine out for sale
in a charity shop?

- 13 amp plug with unsleeved L and N pins
- figure-8 single-insulated wire outside the machine casing to the
lampholder
- unguarded drive belt and pulleys between the motor and the machine*

Not this exact machine, but this sort of arrangement, see photo 11
