Common Issues

Because they are electric, these machines often have mechanical issues. Electrical issues are also common. Line cords on 40's and 50's machines need to be replaced, as they are a fire hazard. Motors will get dirty and gum up, but they are designed to be taken out and apart and cleaned.
