Its pictures exude quality and strength I bet you could sew tin cans together with that thing - but please don't. The condition is way to good to allow any kind of abuse.<br />Hugs<br />GGavin Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05737186300519027548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891822807615629668.post-13876928722497017202017-06-27T08:42:54.012-07:002017-06-27T08:42:54.012-07:00Mouse, here is a kindred spirit.

Somewhere I read these take the same double ended bulbs used in Volkswagens. It was pointed out that LED double ended bulbs are now available. I ordered some of the LED bulbs off Ebay for a table top Mira but haven't tried them yet. I have been wondering if the Mira really used a 12v bulb. So, anyway I just checked and the new Mira does have a 12v bulb in it. I will be replacing it with one of the LED bulbs. My go-to machine lately has been a recently acquired Bernina 8MM 217N. I am not sure how much use the Mira will get but the price was right and I wanted to try it out. My other recent distraction is a Singer 29-4. Quite different from anything else I have sewn on. It has quite an appealing steam punk look to it. You've got to love anything with a walking beam.Springmtndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296107177838068635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891822807615629668.post-71113955958449583202017-06-13T20:01:52.964-07:002017-06-13T20:01:52.964-07:00Nice!

The Mira has all the great qualities of the BU Nova but with a look all its own (although it reminds me a bit of the Bernina 117) as well as two speeds. I think I prefer the interior lamp rather than the (often broken) lamps found on the Nova and other models. I hope you get yours running soon -- you'll love it!Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15242005980195348193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891822807615629668.post-45428793613185481472017-06-13T19:58:59.578-07:002017-06-13T19:58:59.578-07:00It's a real favorite of mine, similar to my lo...It's a real favorite of mine, similar to my love for Ankers and certain Kenmore models. The smoothness and the minute adjustments are immediately noticeable and I wonder why I own any others. But I tend to fall in love all over again with every machine. No wonder I'm single.Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15242005980195348193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891822807615629668.post-44460412823610679062017-06-13T07:24:50.621-07:002017-06-13T07:24:50.621-07:00Always excited to see a new post from you.

It came with quite bit of ephemera but the only accessory was the disk in the wonder wheel. It also has bad wiring so I haven't run it yet. Take care.Springmtndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296107177838068635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891822807615629668.post-85418248331962347742017-06-13T06:46:38.271-07:002017-06-13T06:46:38.271-07:00It looks like it was never used, or else it was ve...It looks like it was never used, or else it was very well loved and taken care of. I should get my BU Nova out and work on it. I sold my first one to a friend of mine and he loves it. I was sorry I sold it so I bought another. :-/ It needs a good cleaning and a motor but then it should be ready to go.
