Great find on the Redeye. Great decals. The Bubbas are holding their own too.

I did a tryout of fm, and that's the last picture of the set:

That set up looks great!!! What did your husband do with the original top? The reason that I ask is because I just bought a handcrank model 66 that was sitting in a little box that was made out of the original treadle top. It's hard to explain so I'm going to go take a picture. I thought it was an excellent way to make a box for the handcrank machines.
Here are the pics showing how the box was made. The box is sitting on top of my parlor cabinet and is separate from it (just in case the pics make it look like it's part of the larger cabinet).
I bought this machine from Craigslist yesterday....$60.00!!!!! It is in excellent shape!
