1980's Singer Futura Sewing Machines - Assessing Machines From My Collection - Three Models

I have collected seven Singer Futura sewing machines over the last decade or so and it's time to take stock.
I carry out a quick assessment of each machine to see whether it is worth restoring.

There are three models in the collection, models 1000, 1100 and 2002.
I'm not sew testing them at this point but checking for potential failures such as drive issues and electronic issues.

In later videos, I'll go through some of the problems I have found and how to fix them.
