I guess I don't get nostalgia (yet), because I just don't have that "emotionally attached to things" gene! I look for the best product for my needs and ohh and ahh over the pretties, but don't desire to own them much.
Different strokes for different folks!
Gotta love that!! (Besides, if everyone wanted these old machines, there wouldn't be as many for ME!!
