Hence the bracing either side with blocks of wood and yes, it is still doing it.

I thought maybe it needed new feet. The problem is that the machine is so old that they cannot easily find parts for it.

As for that cheap light, I would not be surprised if it was some oddball thing. The contractor that worked on this house cut every corner that could be cut and lied like a dog on top of it.

I do not wish him well, believe me. His lies have cost a fortune!
