Jacquie,
I appreciate the idea, but I'm hip deep in project machines and cabinets for a while.
As for parts post a pic of them, they should be identifiable.
Charlee,
Oh geeze, what is the difference between a collector and an accumulator?
Well, a collector obsesses over the perfect example. Always searching for the item in 100% condition. Willing to sacrifice a good item to make a better one perfect. I've seen this with gun collectors a lot. Always parting out perfectly useable guns after taking one piece off of them to put on their favorite collection gun. They make me sick.
An accumulator picks up what speaks to them. I like Singer 66s so it seems they speak to me. But I'm not obsessed about the perfect example. I won't sacrifice one machine to make another one better. I have one that has so much needle rash on the arm it's down to the bare metal. But oh it sews sooooooooo nice. Part it out to fix another one? No chance in hades.
So no, I'm not a "collector", I'm an "accumulator". Or a hoarder if you want.
I think Caroline's comment pretty much fits me to a T as well.
