Something wrong here. What happened to the cabinets and machines?

Here's A Davis made Minnesota C with crank, unfortunately the machine and case comes with the crank.

Iris came over to day and we had a blast!!! We looked at one from GW, then we put an hand crank on a clone and we cleaned up Iris' FW and her 99 those ladies sparkle. Then my DIL Hannah showed up. I think we got so busy working on a machine for Hannah that we forgot to test drive Iris' Singers. The machine for Hannah is a clone I found on CL - I'm going to make a posting on it as soon as Iris sends pictures - my camera totally died and I am bummed. Anyhow - watch for a tutorial. The clone was totally stuck and we got it turning a bit at a time - then we got the tension sorted out and she sews! Then Iris snuck her machines into the cases and into the car before we got them working. So we messed with the hand crank and a tension on another clone. We still have some fine tuning to do but it did assemble. I might need to quiz Glen some on that tension. It may be I need a couple more parts or what ever.
Okay, just posted my 1st tutorial, lots of pics, on basic cleaning of a motor. Let me know what y'all think. I hope I didn't leave anything obvious out.

Thought everyone would find this interesting. Looks like the clear case was made for display.
Edit: It's for sale but no price listed.

Thank you all for your continued help with the stitch guide.
Alas, it is not meant to be used with the walking foot and I will not quilt through the layers without the walking foot. I did get it on when I took the walking foot off. If I wasn't so worried about puckers I'd do it, but not when I haven't worked with the machine enough yet.
FMQ not an option as I don't have the darning plate or FMQ foot.
I got out my chalk and most of the projects will be too light to use them and I only have white and yellow. If I can find the tape, I'll tape them, if not, I'll have to use disappearing ink. I've already tested in on a scrap of the same fabric to see if it comes out or not.
Thanks again for all your help.
