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


No I cannot see the plug. However, if it is for sale at $35 I assume
it is US 110V. I do not know whether sleeved pins are required.
Perhaps you could enlighten us.

- figure-8 single-insulated wire outside the machine casing to the lampholder


Not sure what this means but are wires usually insulated more than
once?

- unguarded drive belt and pulleys between the motor and the machine*


It is advertised as a 'vintage' machine so were it not authentic I
think there would be a bigger issue in terms of confirmity to
description.

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