    Just picked her up Friday at a yard sale for $65. She needs a little TLC, but that's okay - she'll be taken care of. Her legs looks like they have varicose veins so she will get a nice, shiny pair of black stockings (along with the foot pedal), her chipped cabinet will get some new veneer, needs a new belt (hers is broken), and she needs a good cleaning. I've decided to call her Vivian (after Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman). She's a Class 127, born December 8, 1925 in Elizabeth, NJ. I feel like a new mother (or maybe grandmother at my age). Will be sending Billy a PM for help/info/parts, whatever she needs. Now I'll be on the lookout for a Featherweight. I know you folks will share in my excitement. Thanks for looking.

    Congrats. I know how excited you are as I recently got my red-eye treadle. I felt like a new momma. Enjoy her. She is sure pretty.
