I knew the owner, Abram Pransky, while I was a medical student @ Tufts Medical School on Harrison Ave. in the early 1970s. He was a great guy, a grad of law school but took over the business from his father. The bulk of his business was to buy sewing machines on auction, fix them up and sell them overseas. I bought a used vintage typewriter from him and we ended up having lunch about once a month, an old man and a grad student. He was like a mentor. He died in 1987 @ age 81. His son inherited the business but he was not a businessman. The company - in Boston -closed down. The building - in Boston's "Chinatown" is now occupied by a Chinese import company. I know this does not solve your problem and I'm not certain the Georgia Pransky office is the same. Best.
