Oh please post it !! For $15, you can learn on it and if it doesn't come out perfect, you aren't out a ton of money. That was why I bought this machine, just to see how much of a difference there could be, and it had all its parts there.

Here is a picture of the aforementioned 66 Red Eye I picked up the other day. I was a bit disappointed when I saw it, as it was worse that the pics on Craiglist. But it will be fun and educational to do the best I can on it. It is missing a few parts (bobbin case, plate, upper thread spool) and many of the decals are silvered.
It has been used, and not too well loved, but you will love it and learn from it, and it is still a wonderful machine. Evaporust (from Harbor Frieght) will clean the rust off that faceplate and any other plain metal surface.
Thanks for posting it.

Thanks Jan. The Evaporust is on its way!
