Lee, beautiful machines both of them. And great prices. Did they look like that when you purchased them or have you cleaned them up?

Good thing you are "in hiding" or I might sneak over and take a peak at those beauties. But judging on the background in the pictures, you are not near me.

I would get that 2 spools no matter the condition. They are very hard to find. make sure the bobbin spool holder is there.

Congratulations! :-)

Here are a few photos of the aforementioned mystery Empira machine. It seems to be moving freely and smoothly. I just have to reattach the belt.

Has anyone heard of this machine? I have looked all over on the web and have found nothing, spare a quote on Google books about a lawsuit involving an Empira Sewing Machine Company!

Nice to know you can actually fit a treade in the back of a Subaru Forester! Sorry for the distracting backdrop.
