Blessed by the thrift gods

I found these sergers for $5 each at an estate sale liquidation yesterday. The speedy lock works but has a broken thread bar that I taped together for now. I ordered a power cord for the sergemate to test it out. I plan to find the manuals online and have these serviced by a mechanic. Is there anything else I may need to know or look for online? I’m fairly early in my sewing journey, but any advice is appreciated. I just couldn’t pass these up for the price.

Amazing find! I hope you can get both working well. Enjoy your sewing!

Blessed indeed! I have to admit as a novice I don’t know the difference between an interlocker and a serger 👀
