Oh, I meant to post this earlier, but I found the most amazing machine on Ebay. I am not bidding on it, but thought other here would love to see it, if they have not found it already. Lots and lots of pictures to load, but worth it. It is a Wheeler and Wilson, but not like any sewing machine I have ever seen. And not a mess to be fixed either. It does look kinda dangerous to sew on. I bet there was lots of sewn fingers with a machine like this.

Holy Crow! What a machine. And made in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Which at the time was an elegant city. Sadly, not so much anymore. But Connecticut was a manufacturing hub, back in the day.
