If you have an analog brain and find mechanical things far more user friendly than electronics ...
If you like film cameras more than digitals ....
If you'd rather this be 1914 rather than 2014 ....
If you'd rather watch black and white re-re-re-re runs than anything new on the television ....
If you grew up driving cars and trucks with points and condenser type ignition systems instead of computers, and like them better .....
If you still have a rotary dial telephone and actually know how to use it, and it works .....
And most importantly, if you find plastic things offensive and crave wood and metal in your life.
That kind of mind set.
I actually looked up the definition of anachronism and said: "Hey ... I resemble that!"

We have a good start. You, me and Miriam.

Thanks for all the feed back. We got her going today and she works like a dream. The 17 year old daughter even got sewing on it for fun. Looks like it will be part of the family for some time. Any suggestions for material to recover the case? Looking to stay somewhat correct for the period.
