You are doing a wonderful job...... she's looking so much better. But, I have a question. If you soak a machine in kerosene, doesn't that strip off all the paint and decals? I'm new at this having just worked on the machine my brother got for me before he passed. But, I have passed up buying old machines in the past and now I think I'm hooked...... I'll be looking for machines this summer while I'm at our cabin..... there were a couple I should have gotten last year and now I'm kicking myself......
