I don’t know where the ID on these are, I am sure I paid to much for the portable but it ran so good and seems to be complete. The cabinet one was $100, is that to much? I did not know they had attachments for these machines. I’m sure what I will do with them. The chain stitching I have is done with commercial machines, much faster and better coverage.

The serial number should be under the bed/table on the front of the actual metal of the machine. On one of my machines the SS starts with an A then has 6 digits. Look with a flashlight on the very front on the machine base under the bed/table.

That's a pretty machine...I'd use sewing machine oil to clean the body of it with...

Once the gold is gone its gone. If you think you can gold leaf it you can try but its not easy as if looks. I watched my buddy do the gold leaf on a car I shot and it was really amazing how it works. He painted the glue on then let it tack up then placed the gold leaf over it. After he was finished then I shot another 2 gallons of clear over it.

I know it is time consuming to do the gold leaf. What about gold paint. I have been known to paint with a brush with 3 or 4 bristles just to get that extra thin line.

Hope you health improves. Hang in there Billy. Sending prayers to you.
Thanks for the advise. I will see what it looks like after cleaning.
Is cleaning with machine oil better/easier on the decals than the Goop?
