But the New National was definitely NOT a total loss!
I puttered with her for a few hours this morning. She went from being hard to turn, rusty and filthy, to looking pretty decent (except for the walnut base which I still have to reglue). And it spins so nice it quiet, hard to believe it's a shuttle bobbin.
