Thank you for the tute. I am a little confused as to whether it is Glenn writing or Skp using Glenn's account. Either way, thank you. I had just found your postings yesterday in March 31st posts. This tute beats the time it took to locate the info. LOL

I sure did miss a lot by sleeping... My husband actually got busy and did this on my Vindex and on an old FW. No pics of the FW yet. Here is a pic of the cans - enough to do 100 sewing machines. [ATTACH=CONFIG]328971[/ATTACH]

ok this is before I put all the pretty pieces back on - I don't have a picture of it all put back together - that should happen one of these days - she might star in a school play.... Fiddler on the Roof but who knows the teacher might want a modern machine that doesn't weigh ssssoooooooo much.
