Let me know your thoughts.
I think they are both wonderful!!! Some cleaning of the machines and the bases and you'll have 2 great machines. Good for you.

BTW - If you need the shuttle cover slide plate for the 128 you can probably get it from Sew-Classic. She has lots of parts for old machines.

Great looking machines, maybe a little cleaning and a little work and they will work just fine.

Wow. You were lucky. Once they get cleaned up they will be beautiful.

Those are both great machines. Decals are in fair condition too. They will clean up beautifully.

How did you get them to come home with you?
