Where is the on off switch on a Brother 230 Galaxie sewing machine?
It doesn't have one. A lot of sewing machines don't have on/off switches apart for working the light. The foot pedal usually disconnects the power when not pressed but this can not be relied on. Therefore you should never leave a sewing machine plugged in when not in use. Often the early models have a suppression capacitor in the foot pedal that can go short circuit making the machine run on its own.

What to Look for in a Beginner Sewing Machine Size Sewing machine models vary in size, ranging from compact mini-machines to full-size models that may offer more power and features. When deciding what size sewing machine is right for you, consider where you plan to use and store your machine. A mini sewing machine with a small footprint is ideal when you’re short on crafting or storage space. On the other hand, if you have a designated sewing area and are looking for a full-featured machine, then a standard-sized sewing machine will give you all the options. This type of machine might also have a larger table area that makes it more suited to larger sewing projects. Weight Sewing machine models vary in much how they weigh, with some portable options weighing as little as 3 pounds and other more heavy-duty models weighing up to 30 pounds. The weight of a sewing machine is important to consider since it may affect how portable the machine is. If you plan to take your sewing machine on the go, such as to crafting classes, quilting groups, or a friend’s house, then you may want to look for a sewing machine that is lightweight. The motor and housing are the largest determiners of sewing machine weight. Machines made of mostly metal components will weigh significantly more, but the advantage is often greater durability and more stability when working on large projects or heavy materials. Features While sewing machines all fit a basic purpose, the available features vary widely and suit many different project needs. When shopping for a sewing machine, check out which accessories are included—like a presser foot, walking foot for quilting, or other specialty accessories that might fit your project needs. Many people appreciate the convenience of a sewing machine with self-threading capability. Other user-friendly features to consider include task lighting, a drop-in bobbin, or button hole maker. htt ps://bit. ly/3vVNrsN (REMOVE THE SPACE)

Where can you get a sewing machine for cheap in the US?
In sewing machines, you "get what you pay for" so it is often a mistake to buy a new, cheap sewing machine. The trick is to have someone else pay the premium price for a good machine and then pick it up used for a small portion of the original cost. Sources for no-cost machines are : your local Freecycle forum and the local landfill (don't laugh, I have picked up several machines there). Also, ask friends, neighbors, and relatives - they sometimes have Grandma's old sewing machine in a closet just wondering what to do with it. Low-price sources for sewing machines are thrift shops, local auctions, and yard sales. Machines from all these free and low-cost sources will probably require a professional cleaning and lubrication for about $50. Sewing machine dealers often take in trade-ins and resell them at reasonable prices. These machines are cleaned, oiled, and tested and sometimes even come with a short guarantee.

How much is a Kenmore Sewing Machine model 117.840 with a wood sewing machine cabinet worth?
Used Kenmore sewing cabinets sell for between $10 - $20. The condition of the sewing machine is irrelevant. The value of this sewing machine is zero ($0.00). There is nothing wrong with that particular make or model. Ninety-nine percent of these older, electro-mechanical sewing machines aren't worth anything because the cost of having it serviced approaches or exceeds the price of a NEW machine from a discount store. A new $89 machine will do everything the old one does and more. An old machine that has been stored away for years always requires service, even though it appears to sew ok for a quick test. All the grease and oil which lubricated the machine has either hardened or turned to varnish. This gunk has to be cleaned out and the machine lubricated else the machine will jam and break threads on the first project. Although older machines might be constructed from mostly metal, this alone doesn't make them "better" than a new machine having a lot of plastic parts. Mass produced, consumer goods from yesteryear have all same short comings of modern mass produced, consumer goods. They cut corners to save cost. You don't find out what these corners are until you have a problem. You are unlikely to break a new machine but if you do then you can take it back. Breaking an old machine will lead you down a path of frustration. You'll discover that the "all metal" machine has little plastic gears and a rubber timing belt, both of which have become fragile with age. This is why there is little to no market for old sewing machines. When you own an old sewing machine that you must get rid of, feel satisfied if you find it a good home; otherwise it will end up in a landfill. Of course, you can always stick it to someone by asking a high price for the machine than laying in wait for someone who doesn't know how to value such items. This happens all the time in antique stores.
