Thanks for the encouragement. That is what I want to do for my children/grandchildren. I would add to your list of things to note: the stories I have collected from quite a few of the machines that I have... my aunt's.. ; my Mother's... and so on. I have enjoyed collecting them and maybe some of them will grow to appreciate what I enjoyed... or the person they sell the machine to someday. History in the making. I just need to begin like you have. :-D
If not for your children/grandchildren, than at least for the next steward of the machine that wants to know a bit of the history of the machine.
