I want the case to store the machine after she makes a table runner, not for its possible historical value. I do not want to return a 301!!!!!
My Sewmore 404 came in a box that had completely fallen apart in shipping. I took it apart cleaned it and glued it all back together. Now to cover it. I'm going to use a dark burgundy polished cotton for that.
Our Domestic's box was badly messed up so I glued it back together, then used acrylic craft paints to touch up the damaged area.
I have many of the old cases that have had separated joints that Elmer's wood glue has fixed nicely.
I don't think I could stand duct tape though.
